The National College for School Leadership (NCSL) has appointed nine National Succession Consultants (NSCs) to act as regional advisers and disseminators of the outcomes from the national succession planning pilot projects*.  The consultant for each region will be in touch with Diocesan Schools Commissioners/Directors of Religious Education in the next few weeks and will be asking about the best way they can support dioceses in the area of sucession planning.
