Oct 23 - RGP Constable Hosts National Association of Well-Being Advisors Workshop
On the 17 October 2013 the RGP’s Police Constable Henry Sacramento led the National Association of Police Well-Being Advisors workshop. The workshop was held in Oxford, in the United Kingdom and is the second workshop organised by NAPWA since PC Sacramento was re elected as chairperson of the association.
Holding an annual training day was an undertaking given by PC Sacramento prior to his election as chairperson. This year’s training day was on stress in the emergency services. The workshop was delivered by Dr Noreen Tehrani and proved to be very useful in learning techniques on how to identify stress and how to deal with employees suffering from stress. This was not focused solely on clients but also on the welfare advisors, who are often themselves susceptible to stress. Stress prevention also featured strongly in the workshop.
Local authors Sam Benady and Mary Chiappe will be launching their fifth Bresciano mystery, The Devil’s Tongue, during this weekend’s Literary Festival. Sam and Mary will be talking to broadcaster David Freeman at 5:00pm on Saturday 26 October in the Upper Reading Room of the Garrison Library.
The GSD says it “laments the lack of transparency in relation to the estimated cost of the Commonwealth Park.” The Opposition argues that, “It is clear that the Government simply doesn't want to say how much the Park is expected to cost for fear of a public backlash.”
The Government has insisted that the Opposition is ‘scraping the bottom of the barrel’ with their criticism of the Government. The GSD yesterday claimed that the Government have refused to publish or share the contents of reports that are commissioned.
