Please note this training is delivered by those with lived experience, is mandatory and is certificated and as such we need all delegates to book directly through the website.
In the interests of fair distribution of funding, there is a maximum of 3 places per practice per session. There are limited numbers of places on the training, we will be operating waiting lists and ask that if you cannot attend for any reason you must let us know as there are a large number of people to be trained!
This process needs to be completed every 3 years!
