CHILDREN’S WORKFORCE TRAINING
This is a comprehensive short course programme aimed at the wider children’s workforce. The courses will be of great value to anyone involved in caring for children in a residential setting, including residential care workers and foster carers. The courses will be of equal value in community settings such as children’s centres and a wide range of projects working with children and young people.
The courses are highly effective when delivered in the workplace to staff teams, but we do also run them at external venues, which will be posted on this page of the website.
