Professional Development Toolkits
Our peer-led, professional development toolkits support workforce development by bringing practical, challenging and effective tools that bring about attitudinal change. We developed these training days to complement existing knowledge and skills within welfare to work, substance misuse, mental health, homelessness and criminal justice sectors.
The key objectives are to bring about change using a peer-led perspective to embed key skills, awareness and effective interactions that promote personal responsibility within recovery, resilience, rehabilitation and recruitment sectors.
We recognise the importance of continually re-enforcing and building on the skills and knowledge of frontline staff to deliver effective and up to date services. Performance and monitoring has become an important part of community development alongside quality assurance and partnership working.
Our professional development toolkits evolve with new and existing challenges to support organisational culture change.
