The Comprehensive Planning and Climate Change Training for Planning Officers will be delivered by Arup to enhance the skills planning officers need to take positive action on climate change and increase local authority capacity to tackle the causes and effects.

Beginning January 2012 to December 2012 throughout the Yorkshire and Humber.
10 modules form one comprehensive training package to build specialist skills and champions.
Designed following consultation with officers and reviewed by Service Heads.
Each module will be delivered four times, once in each sub region, to ensure convenience and accessibility to all local authorities.
All free of charge to relevant local authority officers and qualifies as CPD for planning officers.
Delivery will be paced to improve the opportunity for officers to attend.
There is no requirement to attend all modules.
Modules range from policy formulation to compliance to enable managers to direct officers to the most suitable training.
The training programme has been paid for by a grant to YoHrSpace from the Department for Communities and Local Government.
