It is essential that a wide range of staff working in local authority, health and social care agencies are fully aware of the key issues in safeguarding vulnerable adults and of how the policy affects them in their front-line roles. The half-day Raising Safeguarding Concerns course is essential training for all front-line staff and managers who are involved in providing services to adults at risk and who work directly with service users. The course content is mapped to the learning outcomes in the local Safeguarding Adults Training Standards (published Dec 2017) as well as to relevant national occupational standards including the Care Certificate (Standard 10). Course attendance is monitored by the Safeguarding Adults Board. The standard charge for this course is £40. Please refer to our Course Charges on the Home page for information on discounts and exemptions.

These 50 minute coaching sessions with coaches will assist council staff in coming up with strategies and action plans to maintain and build their wellbeing and resilience. Unlike counselling which provides a safe space to explore worries and concerns, these confidential coaching sessions will help staff come up with individual plans to help them build their resilience, understand what they can do to enhance their wellbeing and overcome current and future obstacles. There are activities and exercises that wellbeing coaches can also give people to work through in their own time if they would find it useful.

Please note these sessions will be delivered by skype or telephone.  Your coach will contact you to confirm the best method for you.

Writing can help us pay attention to our emotions and nurture our wellbeing, one small step at a time.

In this bitesize taster workshop we’ll use words to create a calming moment for ourselves and space to reflect on what makes us who we are. If you'd like to reflect, restore and build your resilience in a safe and supportive group, then this session could be for you.

There’s no need to be a writer, or ‘good’ with words; you just need yourself and a notepad and the facilitator will guide you gently through the session, which will involve a short series of simple writing activities. No previous experience is needed.

This course is delivered via Zoom. You will be sent a Zoom invite nearer the time.
