Join us for a Virtual Teams Talk
We’re really relational at Middlesbrough Children’s Services – something that’s quite tricky to get across on our website alone. That’s why our team (especially our leaders) would like to invite you to a virtual Teams Talk. Our next Teams Talk event is coming soon and will take place on Microsoft Teams. You will not need a Microsoft Teams account to join. However, you will need to register your interest for us to send you a link. We look forward to ‘seeing’ you there!
