In response to the Strategy, Dr Rachel Heath-Davies is looking forward to seeing the new curriculum developments, welcomes the new course books and materials that are currently being authored, and is looking forward to the new Welsh in the Workplace Strategy. “As somebody who has had experience of developing training and Continuous Professional Development for tutors across the sector, nationally, I am looking forward to the new CPD Strategy.” Rachel also said that she acknowledged the challenges of increasing course contact hours and intensive provision and welcomes the developments.
