We’re looking for a host to help lead this community. If you enjoy bringing people together, guiding meaningful conversations, and supporting peer learning, we’d love to hear from you.
The study and discussion in the PLC community are full of insights and authentic practices. The process makes me feel more confident to do better in this area. To meet people in the same working field but from different schools is eye opening.
I find it useful and a good place to talk and discuss all things safeguarding !
Great information and resources from people who are in the same role. Led to several tangible improvements we are making for next year
