Ambassadors - Yorkshire and the Humber
I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new regional co-ordinator for Yorkshire and the Humber area. My name is Isabelle Greenwood and I've been involved with UK Skills and the National Training Awards for over seven years as both an Assessor of the Awards and as a Consultant where some of you may have met me around the region when I've been delivering NTA information sessions.
I am a self employed Business and Life Coach and an Investors in People Specialist so my business is all about improving performance of organisations and people which is why I am passionate about the National Training Awards.
Of course, winning and celebrating success is fantastic but even before that can happen just the process of putting together an entry can really be developmental as it emphasises the need to plan well, set out what is expected and take stock review and evaluate the impact on performance.

Training in Law Helps Third Sector Organisations
When a charity called Voluntary Action Leicester successfully took up legal proceedings against the City Council it sparked an awakening in the third sector to the possibility of using public law to challenge poor decision-making by public bodies. It was also the catalyst for the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA) to form a partnership with the Public Law Project (PLP) to provide third sector organisations with workshops in dealing with legal disputes.
NAVCA is the national voice of third sector local infrastructure organisations (LIOs) in England. It helps to ensure communities are well served via member LIOs and their work with over 160,000 local groups and organisations. It supports the local third sector nationally by providing members with learning and networking opportunities, information, resources and advice to support success.
