 Also, congratulations to the Transcription team who have been shortlisted in the Public Service category in the Kirklees Council Inclusion and Diversity Awards 2019.

The awards recognise and reward individuals, organisations and teams that are passionate about inclusion and diversity, those who strive to include others who might otherwise be excluded from activities and opportunities, and are inventive in the ways they achieve it.
