We are pleased to let you know that we will be able to start delivering face to face training for some of our courses from the middle of August. Social distancing and increased hand hygiene guidelines will be fully adhered to.
Anyone who has had a confirmed ITA funding assignment can be assured that this is valid for a period of 1 year, so will be able to use funding for courses later in the year.
Learning disabilities, however they are acquired, are lifelong. They are neurological disabilities and as such affect how an individual understands and remembers information, how they learn and communicate. People can be born with learning disabilities or they may acquire them later in life. There are many differing types of learning difficulty and they can exhibit in many different ways and with many different characteristics.
This course will start by giving you an overview of some of the common types and causes of learning disabilities and how they affect people. It will touch on how a person centred approach to care will get the best results and look at how management must perform, and at the needs of the individual. It will also discuss overcoming the stigma attached to learning disabilities and much more.
“I attended a ‘First Aid at Work’ course with Louise in November 2017.
The course was well run, good demonstrations and plenty of interaction between participants. There was a good mix of theory and practical work and everyone was encouraged by Louise. Whilst the course has a serious content, Louise ensured that it was delivered in a lighthearted way and made it easy for everyone to learn.
