Children’s MARS Board Communication

Recent learning from events and feedback have highlighted that staff across the partnership would greatly value hearing more about the roles, responsibilities and contributions of other agencies.
In response to this, we have put together a programme of short webinars/briefings throughout the week.
There’s plenty of room for even more sessions throughout the week, and we’d love to have you involved! If you or your team want to join the programme, to share more about your roles or service, just let cMARS know, we’re excited to add you to the line‑up!
