External Specialist Partners
Sometimes we need very specialist skills from Actors or Forum Theatre to Negotiation or Presentation Skills. Sometimes we combine roles and sometimes we take someone on to do a completely different job that we hadn’t realised we needed! That’s why we haven’t provided details of these roles – our needs are dynamic and change all the time, they also vary enormously from country to country.
