Coaching consultation your chance to shape future

Coaching consultation - your views sought
The ABAE is conducting a large-scale coaching consultation seeking the views of as many people as possible on the existing coaching system and the developments and support for coaches that people would like to see in the future.
We would like to encourage feedback from as many people as possible as the responses will inform future coaching developments and will help us to ensure that coaches' needs are at the heart of what we do. This is your chance to influence what we do in the coming years.
Once the consultation has been completed a report will be produced based on the feedback received.
The deadline for returning completed questionnaires is Thursday 30th April.
If you wish to complete the form electronically you will need to open it, save it as a file on your PC, and email it to matthew.williams@abae.co.uk when completed.
