As part of our new way of working on the NEC we are now submitting reports to each NEC meeting to let each other know what we are up to and what we have been doing. This is a great way of working and believe you and me there are lots of times when I have never known what my fellow colleagues of the NEC at doing and they have no clue what I have been up to. Hopefully this will start to further communication with NUS. But I was thinking as useful as it was for fellow NEC peeps to have this report it would be useful for you to have it to- so here it is. I sent it to Gemma and have now put it up on my blog- so happy reading!!!!
