Cascade training for Statutory groups
What is it?
AEA has developed a unique
cascade training course called Time for Action - which enables organisations to acquire the
skills and training materials needed to train all their own
staff
and volunteers in awareness and understanding of elder abuse.
How does it work?
The
package is designed as 'cascade' training and is initially targeted
towards staff who train, or wish to train, other staff.
Who
is it for?
It
is emphasised that the day is NOT for learning about elder abuse –
it is designed for those already familiar with issues of elder
abuse but who are less experienced in training and therefore wish to
gain confidence, skills and materials for training colleagues.
The
training is most appropriate for those who will be cascading the
training to
colleagues who deliver ‘hands-on’ care or direct services (e.g.
care assistants, day centre workers). Delegates are sent briefing
notes before the course to help them prepare.
If
you would prefer the training to be delivered direct to you and your
colleagues, either email
or ring 020 8765 7000 and ask for our training coordinator.
