SEDS has previously focussed on TD5 level training but additional funding has been sourced to allow TD3/4 training to be developed. Whilst we are not looking for the SEDS coordinator to necessarily plan such training, we are looking to extend training opportunities for improvers and for any training opportunities to allow the inclusion of TD3/4 level training alongside TD5 training where possible.
