Please bring a pen and notebook to the training days: This workbook has been designed to be printed off for use throughout the programme.
Please be on time at the start of the day, returning from breaks and if attending any other training sessions as part of the programme. The days have been designed to run in a certain order and to cover information relevant for the HCSW role being late means you will miss content from the day and is disruptive to the running of the session.
