Our final staff training day of the academic year brought the whole CES team together once again.
We were treated to excellent sessions led by our own consultants, including a SEND focus workshop, followed by a brand new session on understanding and challenging misogyny, which will be open for booking very soon! The morning featured thought-provoking, highly relevant content that sparked some really valuable discussion, while the afternoon brought some friendly competition with team quizzes, before we ended the day with Kroud Karaoke at Stack. A full day of learning and laughter, it's always great to bring everyone together!
