The role of the Regional Board
The Regional Board oversees all the teams within Great Britain and Ireland. We are responsible for maintaining Beginning Experience® within our Region.
Part of our duties is to regularly assess the regions teams through the revalidation process. This ensures teams are up to date, working from the current manuals and recommendations and helping to improve the general running of the programmes throughout our region.
Each team within the region has a liaison on the Regional board who is responsible for keeping in touch with their allocated team and offering advice and support when needed.
Every 2 years there is a Regional Board Conference, hosted by a different team each time. We offer support in planning and arranging the conference and provide training sessions and fun sessions throughout the conference.
We also coordinate the resources needed to run the different Beginning Experience® programmes, from manuals, leaflets and newly offered promotional materials and branded materials for use by the teams.
We as a board meet regularly, we are the first port of call for any difficulties that a team within our region has.
Our president sits on the International board and thus keeps up to date with the latest news and is our liaison between our region and the international board
