There are lots of on-line virtual opportunities for you to engage in and in this edition we have focused particularly on
opportunities available with ‘Springpod’ and ‘Speakers for Schools’. Many of these virtual opportunities are
available in half term and some include interactive webinars and workshops. Although we would expect interactive
sessions to have multiple attendees and to be recorded, when you are signing up as individuals be mindful to stay
safe on-line. Remember to never share your personal information in an open forum and to inform a member of staff
if you have any concerns.
