Thank you to the Anna Plowden Trust for enabling me to undertake this transformative experience,

Despite the limitations inherent in an online course, I found the experience hugely beneficial, enriching and enjoyable.

The CPD grant allowed me to learn a very relevant and invaluable new skill and continue my professional development.
