Training group building paper towerWe provide a range of training programmes, either as standard modules or specifically designed to meet the needs of the client.

All training has an action learning element- i.e. it is interactive and involves putting theory into practice. Often this application of knowledge into the workplace is embedded into programmes.

Our training centres on Appreciative Inquiry and Person Centred Planning. Many of our programmes are Approved Development Programmes through the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM). We also design programmes to meet the knowledge and skills elements of the QCF and CQFW.

Apart from the following standard programmes we are able to develop bespoke solutions to clients' needs.

Approved ILM Development Programmes

  • Introduction to using Appreciative Inquiry to facilitate organisational development - This one day introductory course takes participants through the AI 5D model, giving them an overview of the theoretical basis of the approach, and involving them in an actual Appreciative Inquiry exercise.
  • Using Appreciative Inquiry to facilitate organisational development - Two day course that provides more in depth knowledge and skills. Also provides more insight into using the technique for specific organisation issues.
  • Applying Appreciative Inquiry to facilitate organisational development - This four day course takes participants through the AI 5D model, giving them an in depth view of the theoretical basis of the approach, and involving them in an Appreciative Inquiry exercise. It also involves participants in designing their own AI workshop for delivery within their organisations. AI can be used to facilitate 'whole organisation' self evaluation, or be applied in a thematic way. The latter can involve looking at any aspect of the business including issues such as health and safety, change management, equality and diversity, customer service, etc.
  • Person-Centred Thinking and Planning for Managers. Two day staggered course with elements that require participants to implement the theory into their workplace. Knowledge and skills linked to QCF level 3 unit for potential accreditation. Taith has written guidance for the care sector in Wales on PCP, in partnership with the Care Council for Wales.

Very informative and thought provoking. Can use information given straight away to improve the service to clients.

I though the course was informative. As I have only been at the school for 2 months it gave me an insight on care plans for the students. It is nice to know that their wishes and aspirations are taken into account. That the staff can be a voice for the children as their advocate, and be taken seriously.

Have achieved a better understanding of the standards especially complaints and supervision. A better way of working to familiarise yourself with the standards rather than reading them, more enjoyable and easier to remember.

This day was extremely valuable. It has exceeded my expectations of the day. It has made me feel more comfortable about CSIW inspections and what I need to be doing for others and myself. Great, would recommend this day to others.

Enjoyed the informal atmosphere and the opportunity to take part in the discussion. Also found it useful to be able to talk about personal scenarios and these into the standards.
