Carbon Forum provide Staff Training to Herefordshire Council Officers

Carbon Forum are currently working with Herefordshire Council on an EST funded project to raise energy awareness and inspire action on climate change across the county.  

Over the last month Richard Hammerton has been running a series of two hour staff training sessions for the officers of Herefordshire Council. The sessions are intended to raise energy awareness and carbon literacy throughout the Council, and include topics such as Climate Change & Energy Issues, Carbon Footprinting, Renewable Technologies, Energy Efficiency, Transport and Food. They are delivered to a diverse range of participants from across all of the teams in the Council.

Each one begins with a talk from Richard to introduce the subject followed by a specially developed workshop activity where participants get to grips with some of the most important issues and learn more about the subject of the session. 

All of the sessions have been very well received and the early feedback comments we have had reflect this:

"I am greatly enjoying your training sessions"

"I have found it really valuable already and have briefed up in the organisation"

In keeping with Carbon Forum's low carbon message Richard has travelled to all of the sessions using public transport.
