As part of our Continued Professional Development (CPD) offer, we have planned FREE webinars detailed on this page. These are aimed at education professionals but open to all. All sessions will be virtual. Links to access the online webinars will be added at the appropriate time. We have included the topic, dates and times on this page to ensure you can add it to your calendar in advance. There will be approximately 45 minutes of content delivery followed by responses from the trainers to any questions that have been raised in the chat.
Please remember that these webinars are open to all, so no identifying information should be entered in the questions or chat boxes during the meeting.
