Discussion of your baseline audit - Unit 1 application task

Dear all,

please post here your findings and reflections from your baseline audit in your own professional context, which you undertook in Activity 5. To do this, simply click on the 'reply' button, add your message and then click 'post reply'.

Activity 6 explains how the forum discussion about all your reflections of the baseline audit works.

We're very much looking forward to reading your reflections, which are due on 11th October. However, feel free to post here earlier, if you've completed this activity ahead of the submission deadline.

Best,

Sylvia
