The initial responses to The UK's vote to leave the EU have, was say the least,dramatic. The follow on lack of vision and direction poses a real concern.      The leave campaign team appear to have differing ideas and goals and the Government appears to have put everything on hold for several months until they can work out a way forward. It is easy to say nothing will change for at least the next two to two and a half years and many be much longer BUT in the real world this presents a real problem.    Most businesses and organisations will need to make decisions well before any final exit deal is reached.   Many of these decisions just wont wait!!  Most of Concrew Training's HR related courses contain updates on the latest legislation, good practice and cystral ball visioning for the future.    We will continue this updating over the following months and years to make sure our courses contain the very latest development and guidance on how, where and w

Another new funding course has just been added to our extensive portfolio of courses on how to access funding Funding for Schools and Academies The government is keen for all schools to convert to Academies by 2022 and expects schools to have plans in place to achieve this by 2020.    Academies have new legal structures; how does this impact on external funding? What are the funding opportunities? and what are the challenges?.  This workshop examines these issues and shows schools and Academies how to access external funding whatever their current legal structure.  READ MORE HERE We have a wide range of courses that explain alternative funding sources for most sectors and regions see here #schools #academies #edchat #funding #esf #education #schoolsfunding #headteacher

Ensuring key managers are updated annually and especially, prior to any expected inspection, is crucial . Maintaining a current understanding of the latest inspection requirements and good practice, helps ensure the inspection goes well and the organisation is presented to optimum effect. Concrew Training’s one-day workshop provides this essential training. It helps Nominees, their deputies and senior managers, to remain inspection ready, despite the time lapse since the last Ofsted visit. (NB: Concrew Training has no relationship with Ofsted and this workshop is not endorsed by, supported by, or connected, to them) Find Out More Here
