Focal Point event consisting of a series of short guidance videos and members of the Sustainable Improvement Team (SIT) ‘occupying’ the Community space on S4N throughout the day to respond to your questions, thoughts and ideas to help you make the most effective use of the platform.

 This event will be slightly different from the rest of the Focal Point series from  Source4Networks.  It will consist of a series of short guidance videos that will be made available on the S4N platform.

Members of the Sustainable Improvement Team (SIT) will then ‘occupy’ the Community space on S4N throughout the day to respond to your questions, thoughts and ideas to help you make the most effective use of the platform.

The videos will explain the different parts of S4N, the open area and the area only accessible if you have registered. They will guide you through the functionality of the different parts and show you how to set up and populate a network with people and resources..

To access the Community space on the S4N platform and take part, you will need to be registered on S4N at www.source4networks.org.uk

If you wish to raise a question prior to the day please go to http://source4networks.org.uk/contact-us

The hotseat will be hosted by Rob Cockburn from SIT supported by Liz Maddocks Brown, Georgina Hamill and Sophie Edwards, Associate of SIT
