_______________________________

Target Audience

The training will be relevant to Family Learning providers, managers, coordinators and tutors.

[Members of our Family Learning team] were so motivated by what we were learning that we were simultaneously listening, getting ideas and planning - and didn't want to stop the flow of ideas! We continued to do so all the way home, so the whole day was really valuable.

Thank you so much for the day: it's really helped!
