We recently started to bring IQM directly to you via a series of Live Sessions which have been broadcast on YouTube at 4pm on Wednesdays.
During the sessions our experts are on hand to talk you through every step you need to take to secure the Inclusive School Award, and in turn increase life chances for your students.
These events are free for schools and designed with your needs in mind.
All our sessions are hosted by IQM Ambassador Dave Stott who can answer questions about the award process. Over the course of the sessions Dave is joined by other Ambassadors and Assessors to bring their wealth of knowledge and expertise directly to you.
