Guide to working for an MP
INDEX

This page last updated: 30 January 2012

Welcome to the W4MP/Dods Guide to Working for an MP

If you are new to the job you should have received, as part of your Members' Staff Induction Pack, information about the online version of this guide.   Click here to see the whole induction pack. Copies of the original booklets are now very scarce but the online version contains all the same information and we will do our best to keep this updated from time to time. Just because it originated in 2010 doesn't mean it's out of date.  You might have noticed that things move wonderfully slowly in this place! There is also a snazzy ZMag version of the booklet here, too: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/0ce15b66. This comes courtesy of Dods. It takes a moment to download but you can then view it in full screen mode and move your cursor over it to enlarge the print.

Good luck in your new job!   Now read on....
