Tendering For Care

In response to huge demand we offer Workshops on an "In-house" basis. These can be delivered for teams of managers and/or trustees within a single organisation. The Workshop is also suitable for groups of organisations at events arranged, for example by umbrella bodies such as CVS, or for national organisations. Age Concern and Mencap are typical of the larger organisations which have taken advantage of this option. Although based on a standard content, the event can be tailored to meet the needs of the particular group.

"In house" Workshops are being provided for:

- Voluntary and care organisations both large and small;

- Groups include staff, and a special session has been developed for groups of Trustees;

- Supporting People Teams;

- Local Authority staff;

- National and regional events as a specific input, and for those convened for the purpose;

- Senior and other Management team meetings;

- Groups of Commissioners, Supporting People and PCT teams.
