Online Training Seminars

Our seminars give delegates an in-depth and up-to-date knowledge and understanding of law, guidance and policy in the topic and its application to everyday educational practice.  Our next scheduled seminars will take place during February 2024 but if you need training at a different time then please get in touch as we may be able to help you.

Our online training seminars are delivered using zoom to a maximum of approximately 25 delegates.  The seminars include presentations, case studies and opportunities for discussion and questions and answers.
