I do some face to face and look at recorded and accredited outcomes but not much so not sure if that's any use to you. However I do have responsibility for outcomes with regards to NEET targets, teenage pregnancy, participation etc. Anything I can do give me a shout.<br><br>Good Luck<br>Hilary Hi Jon

Happy to help if I can. I do some face to face and look at recorded and accredited outcomes but not much so not sure if that's any use to you. However I do have responsibility for outcomes with regards to NEET targets, teenage pregnancy, participation etc. Anything I can do give me a shout.

Good Luck
Hilary
