Information about membership

All members:

• Are able to access a password protected area of our website.  This contains documents that members wish to share only with other members.  They also have access to online discussion threads and contact details of other Shared Learning Group members.
• Have access to training events organised by the Shared Learning Group
• Are asked to sign up to our terms of reference. 

There are two types of membership available:

Full membership is open to medium or large national voluntary organisations (we define these as organisations which employ more than 15 staff and have an annual income of £1 million or more) with an interst in health or social care.  The nominated member (or their representative) is invited to 6 meetings per year, which are held in central London and last for about 3 hours.  At meetings, members can raise issues of concern / interest to them. They also discuss topics which have previously been identified by members as a priority.  The cost of full membership is currently £500 per year. 

Associate membership is available to small organisations at national, regional or local level that have an interest in service user / carer involvement.  Associate members are invited to come to 'surgeries', which run for one hour at the end of Shared Learning Group meetings.  At these surgeries, associate members are able to discuss specific issues or concerns with 'full' members.  Associate members are not usually invited to full meetings of the Shared Learning Group.  The cost of associate membership is currently £150 per year.  Associate membership is only open to small organisations.   

 

Please contact the Shared Learning Group via the website if you are interested in joining.
