The ‘Negligence Awareness Webinar’ is an exceptionally valuable tool for disseminating vital information to a large number of people. Using the tracking options of the Webinar allows us the capability to make certain that all of our full-time, part-time and student staff have been given the same information and training. The Webinar is a great way to reduce some of the fears and anxiety associated with risks, while providing a fresh sense of awareness.
