Designated teachers
Our informative training is delivered in 4, hour-long twilight webinars, which we deliver at least twice a year. 鈥�
These will be highly useful to any new designated teacher, and those supporting the role.
Some of these sessions could also be a great refresher for those who are already established in the role.鈥�疶he next series starts on 23 April 2024 for four Tuesdays, from 4pm - 5pm.
