Residential Care Practice Courses
(1101) Setting up/developing a service provision for children and young people
Are you thinking of setting-up a residential care provision or developing your service to accommodate children and young people? This course is delivered by a small team of Residential Care experts who can assist you in your efforts to: meet legislative standards, care package design, tendering, marketing, web-design, health and safety, daily operations, disciplinary measures, staffing and recruitment, behaviour management, staff training initiatives, complaints procedures etc Meeting legislative standards.
(1102) Caring for children with psychological disturbances & behavioural difficulties
Figures suggest there to be a significant increase in the number of children and young people suffering from some form of psychological disturbance. The key to facilitating the needs of these minors require a certain level of awareness. Awareness is achieved when carers are able to identify the manifestation content of behaviours which are motivated by such emotional problems. Thereafter, a plan of action and appropriate response can be utilised to further support and facilitate their development.
(1103) Leaving Care: preparing young people for the transition of independent living
Do you have enough knowledge, skills and experience to prepare your young-people for a life of independent living? What approach will you take to ensure that when they depart from your care, they will be equipped with the skills needed to care for themselves: financially, educationally, socially and emotionally. This one-day workshop will provide you with adequate knowledge to do so.
