    This is good, but our IT have told me you have saved the presentations on an un-moderated file hosting site, and it is our corporate policy to block access to this type of site to prevent possible misuse and resulting data protection implications for the council. IT are putting in place a workaround on this occasion, but perhaps the files could be saved to a different, safe location for ease of access?

      Hi Allison,

      Thank you for your feedback. The presentations are saved in Google Docs. I wasn’t aware this could cause issues for people trying to view presentations from within council networks. I will look to find another platform to share files in the future. Are there any that you are currently able to access?
