IfLCase Study: City of Wolverhampton College
‘I’m not a natural reflector, but I feel that the way it is presented scaffolds thought, making it easy for all staff to
record the impact of CPD on their practice.
The use of REfLECT will be developed in line with the staff development
database.’ Sandi Bates REfLECT Champion
