Over this time we offer a block of sessions to train people from scratch or refresh those that have been with us for longer. Training and giving people the skills to do their job well is crucial to meeting the needs of the people we work with.
“Staff recognise issues immediately because they are well trained and have taken the time to really get to know my son. This is a Godsend because he has had a lot of heart and lung problems – he is very prone to pneumonia. The last time he had a severe bout he was in hospital for two weeks. Staff picked it up extremely quickly - it's this sort of attention that matters.”
