note that to incorporate ALL that is set out below a minimum of 3 days is required. If
commissioned, we
recommend that this course is delivered by both Judith Tuck and Alan Cooper. General Course Aim: This
course is designed to prepare staff who have not formally trained others or wish
for a refresher training. Therefore, it is suitable for those with some
experience of training or practice teaching. It is intended to introduce
training in a “hands on” experiential way with many practical exercises. Learning

and Exercises – general rules Set
task for participants – think about topics for a Presentation. People will
work in two’s or three’s to design and present a short presentation. Some
tricks of the trade on getting the message over: flip charts, OHP, Q&A,
Quizzes, verbal presentation, video, mind maps, PowerPoint*, word storms, SWOTs,
groupwork tasking including role play. Emotional reactions to child protection
training – what to do. Linking training to practice: action learning.
Evaluation methodology. Participant course project: designing and delivering a short presentations (10 - 15mins) assessed by peers and feedback from trainer. These presentations need not be on social care work (free choice) – we feel it more important to encourage the development of training skills at this stage.
