My stepdaughter put a beef casserole in the slow cooker only trouble is she has put a lot of liquid in ie almost to the top. Is there any way to reduce the water content so the gravy is less watery( I don’t have cornflour).

If it's at the start of cooking ladle the excess water out, if it's at the end of cooking do the same, but boil it in a sauce pan till it reduces, or just add extra seasoning to the remaining liquid to give it back some flavour

Leave the lid off,keep temp at high and it will reduce.
