The period from Easter to Summer has been extremely busy. I have delivered a variety of courses… from Safeguarding to First Aid to Working with Childcare courses, targeted at those people interested in working with children, a bespoke course developed for safeguarding leaders in charities and other courses. The variety of my course offerings is one of the things I really enjoy about my role.
