Trafford Centre for Independent Living (Trafford CIL) has been
awarded funding by Skills for Care to provide free Health and Social Care
training for Carers, Personal Assistants and their individual employers.
As an experienced provider of training for disabled people and their
staff, and as the only provider in the North West to be awarded this funding,
the organisation is in a unique position to
deliver person-centred training focussed on the needs of
disabled people and their immediate support networks.
Between July and October 2013, Trafford CIL will initially
host twice-weekly sessions at their offices in Sale, as well as a number of
outreach sessions within Trafford.
The courses cover a range of subjects, from Safer Handling of Medicines
and Manual Handling to person centred courses such as Autism,
Diabetes, Cerebral Palsy and Dementia.
All of the courses are CPD certified and use innovative
e-learning resources with tutor support and facilitators to assist in the
completion of each module. Each course takes roughly 2-3 hours to complete, and
can be done over as many sessions as necessary.
The sessions commence on Thursday 1st August and will
run every Tuesday 1- 4 PM and every Thursday 10 -1 PM at Marshall House on Park
Avenue in Sale, as well as Wednesday 10-1PM at
Trafford Carers Centre starting on 7th August.
In September, courses will also be held at Rethink Mental Illness’
offices in Hulme. The number of weekly sessions is expected to
increase with demand.
To secure a place on any of the courses, please contact Sarah Leach on
