The specific demands of caring for people with these issues means that support workers must regularly undergo training courses to update their skills. The College worked in partnership with Potens to develop a training plan that best suited the needs of the business and employees. Through consultation, methods were identified to enable a number of short courses to be combined into one bespoke course, which minimised disruption to operational down time. The course covered a range of subjects, including Health and Safety, Nutrition, Care Planning, Epilepsy Awareness, Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults and Challenging Behaviour. Karen Birchall, Registered Manager of Potens Avondale care home in Redcar, said: All of the Potens staff working in the Redcar area did a variety of courses at Redcar & Cleveland College and the feedback they gave was excellent. The college has great facilities and the teaching standards were extremely good, so, without doubt, all of the courses were very relevant to the work we do with residents. 4 www.cleveland.ac.uk 01642 513200
