Hearing the Voice of the People – through staff training

26th October 2009, 2pm-4pm
Glasgow

The FOCUS team in The Richmond Fellowship Scotland replaced the National Service Users Association in 2005, at which time three priorities were agreed for taking forward the Participation Agenda. Staff Training was identified as one of those priorities.

TRFS staff have consistently reported that training is much more effective if it is informed by the real life experiences of the people we support. FOCUS therefore recruits members as co-facilitators to assist our trainers. Those members who participate have themselves received training so they are confident within the training role.

As TRFS reviews the national learning and development strategy, Jamie Thomson, a Development Officer in the FOCUS team, will share his experiences of developing this important priority throughout the process of change.

Places are limited to 20 and are available on a first come first served basis.
