This online session is over and above the concluded in-person drop sessions. This informal online session will be facilitated by HSCP managers aiming to be relaxed, welcoming, and focused on listening. There is no presentation and you don't have to stay for the whole session.

They will be taking place on 2 March from 6.00pm-7.30pm. Further information about the events and the MS Teams link to join the session is available below -
