To confirm your interest in the planned session (those offered via MS Teams) please email Tracey Walton five working days prior to the start date of the session.
This will guarantee you receive the MS Teams link to access the session. If you email leaving 4 working days before the session, as Tracey’s email inbox is not monitored while she is away from the office,your email may not read, meaning you may not revieve the meeting link in time.
If you have any reasonable adjustments that will support you, please let me know about these when you email me. We will accommodate these wherever possible, or advise why we are not able to on that occasion and reach out to discuss any other adjustments that may help.
