Designated Teacher Termly Network Meetings

Our termly Designated Teacher Network Meetings provide an opportunity for Designated Teachers to come together, keep up to date with developments and share good practice.

Each meeting will include updates from Walsall Virtual School, information about local and national developments, practical advice and guidance, and a focus on issues that are relevant to children in care and previously looked after children.

We will also invite external speakers and specialist professionals to provide information, resources and practical strategies that Designated Teachers can take back into their schools.

The network is also an important opportunity to connect with other Designated Teachers, share experiences, discuss challenges and learn from what is working well in other schools.

Topics will vary each term and will reflect emerging priorities, changes in guidance and the needs identified by schools and the Virtual School.

We encourage all Designated Teachers to attend our termly network meetings as an important part of their ongoing professional development and their partnership with Walsall Virtual School.
