After a remarkable 60 years of combined service in the Department of Education, Helen Parker (Research Support Officer) and Mary Yates (Admin Manager) are embarking on their well-deserved early retirement!

Their dedication, wisdom, and countless contributions have made a lasting impact on everyone they’ve worked with. Now, they’re moving on to exciting new chapters, filled with relaxation, adventure, and a bit more me time. 

We wish Helen and Mary all the best in this next phase of life. You’ll be greatly missed!
