Only 16 delegates can attend this course.

There is subsidised cost of £180 per delegate, this includes additional resources which will be sent in the post.

Due to demand for places on this course, non–attendance at this course will incur repayment of full costs of £240.

Director’s Note:

We have purposefully booked the ADULT training this time and not the ‘young persons’, the reason for this is, the adult training is a lot broader and better suited and is able to be applied to young people as well as to your colleagues, it is also the most up to date one. 

Get at least one person trained on this.  It’s worth it. Even better if you have multiple staff trained.
