“It’s brilliant that we can access both the early years and primary-level CPD and gain a deeper understanding of challenges such as safeguarding, as pupils progress.”

“It means that I don’t need to worry about who’s completed that, as I will set the watchlist and then our managers can just monitor who has taken part and who hasn’t. The biggest positive of the platform is just the variety of content, for such a range of different roles.
