Training
I am able to offer my expertise and knowledge to provide training events on topics that form part of my daily work. Broadly speaking, the training that I offer falls into specialist training for professionals and carers of looked after children and young people, training on performance enhancement for business people and training for other professional groups such as NHS staff and other care professional groups such as teachers.
The core principles that I have adopted for the training events that I stage are that the training should be wholly relevant and targeted to the audience and that the training should be enduring and the content memorable. The training is usually a mixture of presentation of material using audio/visual aids and breakdown group work addressing relevant issues to the target audience.
