The Partnership
The In-house Professional Development Partnership (IPDP) is a school-based professional development programme that provides cost-effective, sustainable staff development.
Whilst the IPDP is no longer available to purchase, we are continuing to support our existing partner schools, providing them with a structured process for planning and implementing professional development.
All the materials originally developed for the IPDP have now been adapted for face-to-face use and are free to use under an Open Government Licence.
