1) That dogs and society in the UK would benefit from a nation of better informed dog owners
7) That educating young people about dogs is to the great benefit of dogs and society in the future

Do you have a yearning to help us in our mission to put in place strategies to encourage a greater emphasis on the education of young people in relation to dog ownership and interaction between children and dogs?

If so, then The C-fidos Dogs and Children Steering Group would love to hear from you.

Head of Steering Group: [Not yet selected] Apply below:

Role of Head of Steering Group:

The head of a steering group is responsible for selecting and working with their own team within their particular steering group (members). This enables the running of C-fidos to be autonomous but highly structured.

The heads of the steering groups will work with the chair and chief executive on deciding group policy / strategy decisions and will then work with the members of their steering group and supporters / affiliates in executing agreed upon strategies.

What will the heads of the steering group need to do?

They will need to establish their plans and objectives within their sector and those objectives should correspond with one or more of the founding principles of the organisation.

They will develop plans: Along with support and guidance from the chair and chief executive the heads of the steering groups will decide what do they want to achieve? How can they set out to achieve it? What needs to happen to make it a reality? These plans will then be agreed and set in to action.

They will also need to provide regular position statements and supply updates on news or major events that are happening within their sector. For example, if we use the head of the C-fidos Dangerous Dogs Act steering group head for illustration – If DEFRA issued new DDA guidance, C-fidos would like to report and update its supporters with this news as well as outline and explain the implications of this change in legislation. It would be the role of the head of the DDA steering group, working alongside the members of this particular steering group to provide this information for publication and promotion to C-fidos supporters / affiliates.

Steering group heads are also encouraged to help promote the overall aims of C-fidos, encourage new supporters and constantly be on the look out for interesting people who could contribute to their own steering group.
