Other Roles within the Department

Other interests

From December 2004 until December 2006 I undertook a 1/2 time secondment to the West Midlands Science Learning Centre where I initially had a remit in identifying and sourcing CPD for Post 16 Lecturers and Teachers and subsequently took on the same role for School and College technicians.
