2pm Workshops Sessions chose from the following:-
Workshop 1 - Voice-over workshop A
This is a hot topic for CSWs, who are expected to voice-over without having received any formal training. This workshop is distilled from a series of well-received one-day training events and will present theories and practical methods for better and more confident voice-over. Essential for CSWs.
Jill Newlands MRSLI (ACSW Rep, East Midlands)

Workshop 2 - Voice-over workshop B: To swear or not to swear
Whenever the issue of swearing in the course of voice-over is discussed there is hot debate. This workshop will present an alternative view to the norm and contend that CSWs should think carefully before an expletive is voiced. Come with an open mind.
Andy Owen MRSLI

Workshop 3 - Code of Ethics: A new view
This workshop contends that a new Code of Ethics is required; one that will encompass interpreters and CSWs. Key to the concept is developing an ethical way of thinking. This workshop has been delivered to Leeds University interpreting students with great success. Very thought provoking.
Jason Bell MRSLI

Workshop 4 - Deconstructing the Keynote.
This workshop will comprise a much more informal continuation of the keynote address, with an opportunity for delegates to have input and questions. Come ready for a lively informal session.
Simon Ward

Workshop 5 - The mentoring role of CSWs: d/Deaf teenagers and the police.
CSWs have contact with many d/Deaf teenagers in 6th form and FE colleges who have varying relationships with the law. This workshop will inform CSWs and provide material for discussion within the teenage d/Deaf community. Not to be missed.
Sergeant Glen Barham MBE MRSLI (Hampshire Constabulary).
A member of the Steering Group responsible for setting up the recent national 999 SMS service, and Responsible for the creation of Police Link Officers for Deaf people - PLOD.

Workshop 6 - E-assessment Workshop.
(Online examinations) This is an opportunity to air your views about this emerging assessment medium. What are the advantages and disadvantages, constraints, trials and tribulations of electronic assessment?
Come along and share your experiences, hopes and fears for d/Deaf learners at this fact-finding workshop.
