In response to the impact of COVID -19, face- to -face Mentor Training Sessions will be replaced by webinars as follows:

• Thursday 16 April – New mentor training (including those enrolled on the Birmingham and Manchester sessions);
• Thursday 23 April – Refresher session (including those enrolled on the Birmingham and Manchester sessions);
• Wednesday 13 May - New mentor training (including those enrolled on the Bristol and London sessions);
• Tuesday 2 June - Refresher session (including those enrolled on the Bristol and London sessions).

Please note instead of having one continuous training session each one will be split  into 2 webinars on the same day, and mentors will be required to ‘attend’ both. The first part  will run from 0900 to 1030 and the second part from 1400 to 1530. If anyone is unable to dial in to both then please  select an alternative date.

All attendees should register with the TPS  PDS Manager - Christine Crossley at pds.manager@tps.org.uk to confirm their ‘attendance’ and receive a link to the Skype training session – which will be sent out nearer the time. Anyone already registered for one of the face-to-face training sessions will be contacted with this information, and be asked to confirm their attendance, although they may change dates, or cancel if they wish.

For the time, being the sessions from September are unchanged.
