19. Bournemouth University and Arts University Bournemouth are proposing: That at the Careerpilot/Lifepilot Partnership meeting in April, an IAG forum is established. The IAG forum will aim to provide professionals working within an Outreach/Fair Access IAG role in a South West university with a support network. Proposed IAG Forum All 7 webinar attendees agreed with the proposal

20. How best to access training - through joint funding, etc. How we are managed in terms of professional development? Sharing good practice, what works well what doesn’t? How do we overcome barriers within our roles? How can we use Careerpilot to share our materials and practice? The IAG forum could include discussions on: How will this work? One person from each uni with an IAG role to attend the IAG forum, either at the end of Careerpilot meetings or as a separate meeting, perhaps twice a year at a SW university. Please wave your hand if you think this will be a good idea? If so send any ideas to be included in the first IAG forum for April 2015 to Sally sbaker@bournemouth.ac.uk
