Join us on October 7th-9th 2009
Changing Times; Changing Adults; Changing Guidance
We invite you to get involved in this key event for adult guidance practitioners. The NAEGA National Conference 2009 aims to tackle the impact of change and to address important current issues.
As the major UK association representing those who provide guidance about learning and work for adults of all ages, NAEGA is an organisation run by members for members.
Its aims are to:
- promote the provision of adult guidance services;
- encourage high standards of practice;
- promote equal access to learning and work opportunities for adults in the UK;
- work in partnership to achieve these aims.
We believe that the provision of such services can make a major contribution both to increasing economic efficiency and creating a fairer and more creative society.
Have your say at the NAEGA AGM
Come along and have your say, after all NAEGA is your association!
The AGM will be held on Thursday 8th at 12.30 and all delegates are encouraged to come along, get involved and have your voice heard. Non members, have been accorded membership for 2009 as part of their registration for the conference.
NAEGA has an inclusive membership policy and members cross the spectrum from full-time guidance practitioners/managers to those who are delivering information, advice and guidance services as part of another role. NAEGA seeks to support members in maintaining and developing professional competence through its CPD Strategy linked to the Principles for Ethical Practice.
NAEGA's principles for ethical practice
NAEGA’s vision
NAEGA seeks to promote universally available, high quality, information, advice and guidance services for adults delivered by competent and reflective practitioners.
Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
NAEGA expects all Members to ensure that their skills and knowledge for delivering the service are relevant, accurate and up-to-date.
Practitioners should demonstrate their commitment to maintaining skills and knowledge to deliver accurate and effective services by reflecting on practice and engaging in CPD activities to maintain and extend their professional skills and knowledge.
Organisations should enable and support practitioners in adhering to the NAEGA Principles of Ethical Practice within the context of their own organisation. Organisations should ensure that staff delivering provision are competent and have access to CPD activities and qualifications as appropriate to develop and maintain competence.
All members of NAEGA will promote NAEGA’s vision and operate within the five principles for ethical practice which are:
- Client-Centred Members will ensure that their practice places the user’s interests first.
- Equality and Diversity Members will ensure that their practice promotes equality and diversity.
- Impartiality Members will ensure that the delivery of information, advice and guidance services is free from bias.
- Confidentiality Members will ensure that the service user’s confidentiality is respected.
- Ethical Practice Members will ensure that their practice has an ethical base.
