Survey Monkey for registered toolkit users goes live.

Shropshire Council completes 12 community test events throughout rural Shropshire using the toolkit.

Toolkit training workshops were held in Torridge and West Devon during February 2009.

These were designed to create a pool of around 50 individuals (a mixture of local authority officers and local champions) who are familiar with the toolkit and can act as both facilitators and champions to support its application and further development locally.

• Section One: A sample programme for a training event and related guidance notes.
• Section Two: A summary of the evaluation responses received.
• Section Three: New guidance notes on putting on a community testing event.
• Section Four: A set of Frequently Asked Questions about the Toolkit.
