Studio Health and Safety for Potters - an online course by Tim Thornton. This covers the risks of dust, fumes, toxic materials and more, and how to deal with them

Trade barriers are going up across the globe. And cybercrime is on the increase. The link between the two? The value of trade secrets. As countries become increasingly protectionist as regards international trade, so their IP law has been changing, with the result that companies that previously would have sought protection through patents are opting to go down the trade secret route instead. But is this a high-risk strategy? Technology is changing and this is having an impact on forms of commercial co-operation. Collaborative or open forms of innovation by their very nature involve the sharing of intellectual property (IP), and in many instances this IP is in the form of valuable confidential business information (ie, trade secrets). Little surprise, then, that trade secrets disputes have increased accordingly. At the same time, the changes in technology make trade secrets more vulnerable to attack, misappropriation, theft. So just how effective are the legal protections for trade secrets? How can organisations safeguard the value in their IP (increasingly, the single biggest line in their balance sheets)? This programme is designed to help you address these issues. Note: this is an indicative agenda, to be used as a starting point for a conversation between client and consultant, depending on the organisation's specific situation and requirements. This session is designed to give you a deeper understanding of: Emerging trends in trade secrets protection and exploitation The current situation in key jurisdictions Recent case law How leading companies are responding The importance of trade secret metadata Different external stakeholders and their interests Key steps for effective protection of trade secrets Note: this is an indicative agenda, to be used as a starting point for a conversation between client and consultant, depending on the organisation's specific situation and requirements. 1 What are trade secrets?

It was great to have the opportunity to learn some new techniques and to gain more awareness of how I present myself. The most immediately applicable uses have been in reducing my “ums” and “ahs” and in trying to come to my point in a more succinct way. I’ve been cultivating this awareness in one-on-one settings; meetings and individual conversations. Christina Vargas

Particularly interesting to apply visualisation techniques to ourselves as therapists. Excellent . Very interesting .Thank you . I am newly qualified and though I have used imagery before, my experience is not that broad, so this was very helpful to understand how useful it can be across different disorders and also for me as a therapist. Excellent pacing, very resourceful and easy to understand. Lots of practical ideas to use for practice. Thank you! I loved this workshop, it was informative and give me more ideas as to how to use imagery. I feel more confident about using imagery in my role Informative, good ideas Engaging, well paced and informative. I'm a qualified CBT therapist and found this really increased my knowledge giving particular skills and ways of delivering. Very enjoyable and informative. I got new ideas for use of visualisation work with clients and also for my own self reflection. Thank you! This was a very informative workshop. I will use it in my practice I found it great, and I have used visualisation in a small way but feel I can approach with more confidence.
