TRAINING COURSES

​​

Here is a flavour of the courses that we offer. Our dedicated team have decades of experience and a huge knowledge base so it would be really difficult to list all that can be offered. We are proud to have undertaken training courses for NHS services, Local Authorities (Social Services), education settings (including early years, primary, secondary and colleges)  across England and Wales and for Adoption Matters.

 

If you have a specific need or idea then let us know and we can create a bespoke course tailored to meet those needs.

​

We can deliver all of our courses as one-off workshops, short courses, more comprehensive training or ongoing programmes, adapted to your needs. If you would like the training overviews for any of these courses then just let us know and we can send more information.
