Monthly seminar sessions:

Once a month we open out our COP to the rest of the organisation. Usually we will be presenting some work we’ve recently done, but we sometimes also have guest speakers.

Look out for information on the #designCOP Slack channel or email amy_everett@shelter.org.uk for the recurring calendar invite.
