Training, Events & Webinars

Welcome to the Provider Corner training, events and webinars page. Below are a variety of opportunities available to help improve the skills of both you and your staff members as part of a health & social care service. There are also networking events that are a way to meet other people within the industry, promote your services and find out what is available for your service users. 

We are pleased to offer a series of free training sessions funded by Skills for Care, aimed at Employers, Personal Assistants (PAs), and Care Workers who support Deaf and Deafblind people receiving Direct Payments.

These sessions are ideal for staff and teams within Adult Social Care, Direct Payment support services, and care providers. Please share with colleagues or teams who may benefit.

All sessions are delivered with BSL interpreters and live captions, with most taking place on Zoom (a few are face-to-face).
