It is up to the individual team leader to decide whether to form a team or to act independently with just a back-up in case of ill-health etc. The team leaders attend the Network Support Group Meetings, chaired by the Network Support Officer. Minutes are taken at these meetings and a copy of these minutes will kept on file by the Network Secretary. The Network Officers feel that the number of meetings should be kept to a minimum with most of the communication being done by emails and/or phone calls.
