Foreword from our Dean, Elisa Reyes-Simpson
I want to extend a very warm welcome to everyone and say how delighted I am that you are joining our student body from September this year.
I started my long connection with the Trust as a student, and fully appreciate that the decision to undertake a programme of study is a significant one that involves making choices and commitments to spend time, energy and money.
I know you will have also considered the impact on your family, friends and work life balance. I thank you for putting your trust in the Tavistock and Portman to provide you with a rich and rewarding learning experience.
A word from our Chief Executive
I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you all. I hope you find your first week with us helpful and informative; I encourage you to make the most of the opportunity to meet fellow students.
Fundamental to our mission is the belief in the importance of relationships, from the earliest relationships that forge our inner lives and grasp of the world, through family, friends and the wider groups to which we belong. Our traditions remain at the core of our offer and through our practitioner-tutor model, we ensure that our trainings remain relevant, accessible and welcoming.
We are working hard to make the Tavistock and Portman a genuinely diverse and inclusive institution, to ensure all our training tackles head on issues of culture and race and to do we everything we can to make students from black or other minority ethnic backgrounds welcome. We know we have more to do but we are committed to developing an anti-racist approach across our all our activities.
We are a broad family and our students are an integral part of our mission. It is my pleasure to welcome you to part of this truly excellent learning environment.
Paul Jenkins OBE, Chief Executive
