The Changing Role of Local Authority Education and Children's Services

Keeping pace with the organisational and curriculum changes in Education and Children’s Services is at best a daunting task and at worst a full time occupation. But whatever the shifts in national and local policy, at the heart of quality in educational provision is the professional development of teachers and others involved with children’s development. As a supplier of Staff Development and Learning Management Systems since the early 1990s SDMS Ltd has a proven track record and has developed its products to keep pace with these changes enabling School Support Services to provide training and development cost effectively and efficiently to Schools and Teachers.

Whatever the emphasis in how training is offered to Schools and how it is charged for, SDMS V Staff Development: Education and Children’s Services Edition will enable you to provide services effectively. With a proven record of delivery, it is a system you can rely on.
