Strictly Education asked questions about MAT leadership challenges to take a temperature check of the issues being faced right now in the sector. Now the results are ready to be shared.

HR queries were high on the list of time-consuming tasks, but there were other areas of MAT business that needed more focus. You are invited to [join the free webinar to discover more](https://www.strictlyeducation.co.uk/mat-leaders-survey?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=var&utm_campaign=mat-survey-webinar-register) at 12.00pm, 15th September 2022.
