My excuses.

Given the risk of appearing to simply complain (with the consequential PR implications) I hope that my remarks are seen as positive criticism.

Do not necessarily reflect views of my employer.

Page 4: East Midlands Councils CPD Programme

My approach.

Choice of concentrating on either process or the professional’s role – chosen to look at the professional given the nature of the activities we’re involved in.

Issues that arise are mainly a product of business pressures.

Hope to provide an idea of how those pressures influence the developer/planner relationship.

Looking at professionals prompts thoughts of stereotypes. National stereotypes.

Professional stereotyping and inter professional education.

Abstract:

Effective inter professional working is considered to be essential for optimum delivery. Inter professional rivalry, tribalism and stereotypes are known to exist within professions and detract from effective delivery. Limited literature is available that reports undergraduate students’ stereotypical perceptions of each other. Stereotypes in relation to inter professional education are commonly explained through the Contact Hypothesis Theory, the Realistic Conflict Theory, or the Social Identity Theory. The aim of this study was to investigate undergraduate physiotherapy and podiatry students’ stereotypes of each other's professions before and after a semester of inter professional education. Stereotypes were measured using the Stereotype Scale. Results indicated that both professional groups had stereotypical perceptions of each other prior to any education, which were reinforced as a result of the education. The results support the Social Identity Theory, which explains intergroup discrimination and describes an interpersonal–intergroup continuum. The timing of the inter professional education may be critical to reducing such an effect.

So what about planners?

Question – who’s this?

Overweight, dark suit, drives Jag!

Page 9: East Midlands Councils CPD Programme

So far little to assist – looked at what skills & attributes the professional and education sector looks for.

Heartfelt plea, those involved in undergraduate or on the job training – critically review the extent of the vocational aspects involved.
