Our Education work is off to a great start this term with over 14 secondary schools requesting face to face or remote interview technique events so far this year.
Our partnership with LLEP continues to get stronger as we will work in partnership on the Effective Transitions Project to achieve better post 16 outcomes for students with Special Educational Needs and Disability.
Through our partnerships with the LLEP and the Thomas Pocklington Trust, Fiona was promoted to education development officer and has been busy making networks with special schools and visual impairment specialists. We have also been able to employ Amrina as our new PSO – education.
