Event enquiries are arriving thick and fast

We have received a number of enquiries about the forthcoming regional events planned for May and June. At the moment we are in the process of planning the events and hope to have dates and venues pinned down very shortly. As soon as we have further details we will post them here.

Each of the Local Authorities will be invited to nominate a number of staff to attend. It is hoped that there will be a healthy mix of practitioners from a variety of backgrounds, in addition to Local Authority managers responsible for quality improvement.

If you would like to attend one of the events, please keep an eye on the blog for further details of dates and venues. It might be beneficial to register your interest with your head of establishment in advance.

It is extremely encouraging to receive so many enquiries. Rest assured that we will keep you up to date with developments. Thanks again for your interest!
