Training Trafford

The Trafford Safeguarding Children & Adults Partnership is committed to promoting the training and development of staff who are working with children, adults and vulnerable families. The Trafford Safeguarding Children & Adults Partnership supports the view that a combination of single and multi-agency training underpins best practice in early support and safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults that this can help achieve better outcomes for vulnerable families. The programme below is open to all organisations working in Trafford including VCSE organisations.

Identifying your training needs.
Individual professionals should identify their training needs and which courses are appropriate to them with their manager, based on their job roles and contact with children, young people and adults. Each level of training gives an indication of their target audiences. Training is also only effective if it impacts on people’s practice – so we ask all participants and their managers on TSCB multi agency courses to take responsibility for ensuring that they reflect on the learning from courses and implement any changes in their practice.

Training for professionals
Training courses are offered to professional bodies with sessions designed to enable you to better identify and support carers by:

• Helping you to understand the caring role and the impact it has.
• Discussing carer’s rights and the legislative response to carers.
• Identifying poor practice and developing examples of good practice.
• Producing an action plan to deliver targeted support in your professional environment.

The courses are suitable to anyone who may be working with ill, older or disabled people in a community, health or social care setting and engage with family, friends or neighbour that may be providing unpaid care.
The course is also suitable to businesses, organisations and schools to help identify carers in your professional environment.

Training for Carers
Courses are designed to provide carers with skills to help them in their caring role or simply as a means to learn something new.
Ad hoc courses also run throughout the year dependent on demand. The types of courses available cover:

• stress management
• first aid
• moving and assisting
• IT
• painting and flower arranging
• health awareness, either one-to-one or in group session
