I will be checking it regularly for updates and may be putting updates on here also.
Remember when using the blog there are key groundrules: Use it professionally - it is not a space to air your grievances or complaints, Validity - just because it is written on here does not mean it is accurate always check that the information you have and the source it is from is genuine and correct.
