Future meeting times:
The meeting attendees decided after trying to have PDM Consultant meetings during weeknights and also on Saturdays, the best time to have future meetings are:
The last Tuesday night of each month from 7 – 9pm, effective from August onwards.
Consultants will be expected to attend the consultant meeting instead of doing PDM Assessments.
The next PDM Consultant’s meeting will be on the 29th August 2006 at 7pm.

Ideas to manage the Volume of outstanding PDM Assessments:


Idea #1: Mini mass assessment
A mini-mass assessment was arranged with between 2 – 5 people on one evening in the week
The entire PDM Assessment was done with the attendees and they also scored their forms
The consultant then gave 15-minute feedback to each attendee.
The process of assessment took 1-hour and the feedback took 15 – 20 minutes each.

- Those who are interested in doing mini mass assessments should inform Ps Marcia the size groups they are prepared to take on so she can allocate attendees:
- Ps Marcia will give the consultant similar age and gender people for the consultant
- The consultant to check if the attendee is comfortable and willing to do their assessment with other people (some prefer private one-on-one assessments)
- Office booking will be essential – call at 828-0880 or email Ps Jackie at jackie@cfcsa.co.za and ensure she confirms your booking with an email reply
- Assess the attendees language level

Idea #2: PDM Course
- Occur one day/night of the week for six to eight weeks
- Details still to be confirmed and updated at next consultant meeting
PDM Committee on 12 August


List of PDM Assessments
