Participant quotes

The difficult conversations training was really helpful. It helped us to have  conversations that are clearer and more focused. This will ultimately have a positive outcome for the students we teach.

The opportunity to discuss something that you want to improve with colleagues facing similar challenges in different schools is beneficial.

I feel more confident following this CPD. I’d recommend similar sessions because the environment was both supportive and confidential.
