Thank you both for the series of webinars this week – they have been highly
informative and, perhaps more importantly, reassuring. I've been feeling
apprehensive about the move from F2F learning to online delivery (like many
others no doubt) but the series you've put together actually makes the
prospect seem manageable and even exciting. That's a lot!
