PROGRAMMES

We’ve all experienced sitting for hours in a training room being bombarded with endless bullet points and masses of information from an ‘off-the-shelf’ training manual. We may leave the session with lots of useful new ideas, but over the coming days our memory fades and a few weeks later we can barely remember what the training was about, let alone put it into practice in our work.

Bespoke Programmes

Our subject-specialist trainers work with you to understand the issues you want to address, and with your staff to understand the opportunities and barriers they encounter in their everyday work. We create a learning programme to suit you and your people and help bring about real culture change.

Active Learning Methods

All our trainers are subject specialists and masters of active learning approaches, which transforms people from passive receivers of information to active participants in their own learning process. It is based on the principal that rather than just sitting and listening to someone talking, trainees are much more likely to make new understandings and change behaviours if they experience the learning physically, intellectually and emotionally.

Sustained Learning and Support

A four-stage approach to learning:

Individual Preparation – web-based videos / succinct documents prepare staff for Group Session
Group Session (face-to-face or online) facilitated group experience.
Individual Consolidation - web-based electronic handbook, videos / documents.
On-going Support:

Monthly support sessions - 1-hour trainer-led online surgery, where staff bring issues/find solutions.
Monthly Inclusion Bite - brief reminders of key inclusion ideas/practices – video, email, info-graphic.
