Putting the learning into practice
Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training does not end when the training day finishes. Employers are expected to make sure learning is put into practice and contributes to changes in culture and practice.
At FitzRoy, we want participants to leave thinking about what they can take back to their own roles, teams and services.
Taking the learning back to work
The training explores communication, reasonable adjustments, health inequalities, assumptions and person centred support.
For some people, it may reinforce good practice already in place. For others, it may prompt a different conversation, a question they had not considered or a change in the way they approach a situation.
Confidence to speak up
One theme our trainers have identified is confidence.
Our trainers have seen participants leave feeling better equipped to advocate for the people they support, recognise when reasonable adjustments may be needed and work with other professionals when someone’s needs are not being recognised.
Staff who know someone well can have valuable insight into how they communicate, what may cause anxiety and what support or adjustments can help. The training encourages participants to recognise the value of that knowledge and use it appropriately.
Understanding the impact
As our external training programme develops, we want to build a clearer picture of what participants take back to their workplaces and whether the learning leads to changes for the people receiving support.
We will share stories and examples here as that evidence develops.
