Help advise on equality
Book remaining leave days
ACT’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Panel are appealing for new members. If you’d like to join, please send a short statement or video to Business Services Sector Lead Rebecca Broad, outlining why you would like to be involved and what skills/knowledge/ experience you will bring to the group. We particularly welcome colleagues from underrepresented groups. You would need to commit to one meeting each quarter. Email rebeccabroad@acttraining.org.uk
As we near the end of the holiday year for 2021/22, we want to remind all staff to use the remainder of their annual leave before the end of July. A lot of staff still have a number of annual days to use and we don’t want you to lose them! If you have any queries, please email: peopledevelopmentteam@acttraining.org.uk
Health checks for staff Colleagues took advantage of free health check-ups in Cardiff’s Ocean Park House building, during selected dates in May. This was done as part of ACT’s new Health and Wellbeing Strategy. There are plans to offer similar checks at our other sites later this year, so watch this space!

The Celtic Students Podcast This podcast is a fantastic listen for those who want to learn more about the Welsh language and how it connects us to the other Celtic nations. The Association of Celtic Students of Ireland and Britain aims to build networks between those studying Celtic history and promote the Celtic languages: Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Breton. In their podcast, expect to hear all of these languages from the guests in each fun episode! Listen to it here.
