Co-operatives UK Learning Needs Analysis

On behalf of Co-operatives UK's worker co-operative council, we have been asked to explore different approaches to supporting our members in relation to improving: soft/inter-personal or you could say "co-operative skills". Such as: communication, decision-making, meeting together, dealing with conflict, group dynamics and so on.

We would like to find out what members needs are and how best to meet them. By filling in this survey you will help us find the evidence to propose better ways of delivering support and training to our members.

Peer learning networks/circles (meet on-line or in person with others with similar needs)
4.Roughly how much would you be willing to pay per session for your preferred learning approaches.
This just needs to be a rough estimate, be realistic as any approach would need financing.
