 There is a fantastic array of training available this year. Why not book a few sessions as part of your staff meeting plan for the year?

You may notice this year that we are trialling a coding system. Each shape indicates how our training can support you in areas such as improving attendance, reducing suspensions, developing relational practice etc. 

When booking, please supply us with staff names/emails of those attending for our records. For online training, we are happy for staff to sit around one screen if you are using this as a whole staff training sessions.

 All our sessions are free, but we do charge for non-attendance or cancellation after the cut off date.  See the poster for more details.

 Don’t forget we also have recordings of all previous online training that you can also use in the same way as live training. You just need to email  courtney.hopson@gloucestershire.gov.uk  to request access.
