GreenSpace is offering further opportunities to access training in Towards an Excellent Service (TAES) for parks and open spaces.

This is a parks specific version of the Excellence model that has helped transform the performance of cultural services and the perceptions about their impact on communities over recent years.

Using TAES can be the key to better representation in comprehensive area assessments (CAA), local area agreements (LAA), multi area agreements (MAA), regional improvement and efficiency partnerships (RIEPS) and regional cultural consortiums and can help park and green space services compete with other cultural services in the political and economic arenas where the critical decisions about investment policies are being made.

GreenSpace, supported by CABE Space and Communities and Local Government (CLG) is offering the following opportunities:

• Implementing TAES course (Central London 25 January 2010);
• Peer-led challenge course (Central London 15 and 16 February 2010).
