This course is an introduction to the online Synergy Provider Portal. It is essential that providers of 2-4 childcare attend this event.

AfC has developed and embedded a strong Leadership programme that supports practitioners who are n ...

In these times of unprecedented change, the need for leadership has never been as important as it is today. Faced with the constraints of austerity and budget cuts, reshaped delivery models, political alliances and community challenges, the future is uncertain. Resourcing our leaders is a key step towards securing our future success.
