WARP Latest news

I would like to wish you a rather belated Happy New Year and good wishes for a successful 2008! As the old adage goes, “better late than never” means we have even more news to bring you in issue 9 of our newsletter. There are exciting developments just below the surface in a number of areas so find out more here. In the past I have drafted the newsletter mainly on my own but a more efficient way is to invite submissions from anyone with news on WARPs and then I can add value as an Editor. I am therefore grateful for the contributions you see in this latest newsletter and if anyone wants to draft future items please email them to

Most importantly, if you know of anyone who wants to run a WARP but is afraid to dip their toe in the water, then we are offering for a limited period, a FREE TRIAL of the new WARP Managed Service Platform (WARP MSP) to selected communities. There is an article on this service in the newsletter and if you are interested in applying please email with a description of your community. This will only run to the end of March 2008, after which some modest charges will be necessary, so you’ll need to move fast !

Date for your diaries - The next WARP Annual Forum will be held on Tuesday 3 June 2008, at The Law Society, 113 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1PL . We will announce further details in the WARP Newsletter and on the Annual Forum page.

WARP Programme Director
