-> THE COMMISSIONS AND CONTINUAL TRAINING

As well as the team and the staff, there are four special commissions for the development of specific activities which work across all the community and which meet once a month:

1. The quality commission: tasked with planning and organising procedures and quality training to define the centres' plans, evaluate and approve the activities of the community projects for the clients with the aim of maximising the internal use of the centres, through a careful management of resources, in accordance with the objectives of the co-operative and its "mission".

2. The cultural commission, which plans, co-ordinates and follows the activities which are of a cultural and recreational character, that the children undertake in the course of the year. This commission prepares an annual plan of the places to visit, including throughout the holiday period. The role of the cultural commission is therefore based on an understanding of the educational and formative role of holidays, daytrips, that the more autonomous clients can undertake.

3. The logistics commission which, as well as gathering the needs of the centres, is responsible for overseeing the balanced management of the centres. The commission, in particular, is involved in all elements of the community, but above all with regard to the increased autonomy of the clients.

4. The employee commission, which is responsible for evaluating the needs of the various centres in relation to the needs and problems of management of human resources, as well as finding the appropriate solutions. The workers in the community are followed and trained constantly by professional figures, both internally and externally. There are three types of training:

- a basic training, for new starters, irrespective of their role, generally weekly, undertaken by the co-ordinators responsible for various sections.

- a continual training, for all elements of the team, once every three months, over two days (one of which is dedicated to the organisational aspects and another to the psychological aspects) for a total of 15/20 hours

- supervisions, once a month, undertaken by an external professional, and for psychologists, doctors and the co-ordinators of the various centres and / or other members of staff.
With respect to specific projects and particular needs, the co-operative can, occasionally, offer training courses for staff in general.
