The IPD has just launched a new set of pages entitled 'Topics for Trainers' which aim to provide practical ideas and resources for front-line trainers. All the documents are available for download in Adobe Acrobat format. The first set of resources are:

- Improving as an appraiser
- Creative problem solving exercise
- Getting teams started
- Safety issues in outdoor training
- Energising exercise
- Theatre for training comes of age

Further resources are promised on a regular basis.

As with much of the IPD website, access is usually restriced to members entering their membership number, but you might want to give it a try!
