It was great to see the buzz at Milton of Leys this afternoon – a troop of new Probationers, ready to embark on the first year of their career. Anticipation for Monday, no doubt, ready for your first week at the chalk face.

As mentioned at the introduction day, there are two Literacy CPD training programmes available for Probationers currently. These are to be applied for through the CPD calendar, following the link below:
