Funding the Future – Participant Workbook Session 1
The work you do in these sessions will be assessed through a variety of means including:
Observation by trainer Completed workbook questions A marked assignment Personal reflective journals
Two of the sessions are practical assessment sessions where you will have an opportunity to put your assessment skills into practice. These sessions will be observed and assessed by both the tutor and your peers. The peer and tutor assessments contribute to your final evaluation. The final two sessions are personal development opportunities that should be spaced apart by at least three months. The first of these personal development sessions takes the form of individual feedback from the tutor/grant manager/grant worker or whoever is delivering the programme. You will receive constructive feedback and guidance on how you can improve your skills as a grant assessor. The final session takes place following your accreditation and combines a catch up/review session with a final personal development meeting with your trainer. BCVS learning and development hope you find the Funding the Future Toolkit useful in your development as a grant assessor. Any feedback you wish to provide can be sent to admin@boltoncvs.org.uk with TOOLKIT in the subject line and will be used to help us develop and improve the toolkit in the future.
