A number of Trusts and School/Colleges we work with also opt to schedule half-termly or termly updates for their team of DSLs/DDSLs on the above topics on a rolling basis as evidence of good practice and as part of their Service Level Agreement with us – please get in touch if this is something you’d be interested in arranging.
