Carley was just brilliant. She definitely knows her stuff and its evident she is passionate about what she's doing! Really enjoyed the course! :)
Thank you Carly & Sarah for a very informative webinar. I will continue to look into the SIL ILO process more. It has helped me understand the different levels of SIL support/ratios and am new to hearing about ILO.
