Overview
Following the successful delivery of the Strengths-based individual journey training programme for a London Borough, we have created a modular programme for Care Act and CQC Compliance training. Being aware that not many, if any, councils can commission the entire programme, please find below a modular training programme that local authorities cab use to pick and mix appropriately. All the below are 3 hrs sessions and can be delivered online or face to face. There is some overlap in the content, so if two or more modules are commissioned, one of the sessions could be 2hrs. (or we can have extra content for those occasions). Should a Council want to commission a block of modules, we are able to make recommendations on what these should be. Please contact us using the form adjacent.Who is Care Act and CQC Compliance Modular Training aimed at?
