Workshops to launch A guide for individual employers: supporting your personal assistant to gain the skills they need

Skills for Care will be holding a number of half day workshops across England, including in Birmingham on Tuesday 2 July, Manchester on Thursday 11 July and Cambridge on Thursday 18 July, to introduce a new guide providing a framework for learning and development for individual employers and their personal assistants.

The workshops, held with the national coproduction advisory group of Think Local Act Personal, is aimed at individual employers, personal assistants and organisations that support them, as well as care providers, local authorities and training organisations.

The free workshops will provide opportunities for participants to learn about how to access the guide and to work with others to identify how the guide can be used to support learning and development.

The workshops will take place from 12.45pm to 4pm and lunch will be provided. To book a place visit www.skillsforcare.org.uk/events/2013events/LandD_booking.aspx.
