Staff Training

Building Bridges delivers training at a number of local universities

We can deliver training on a wide range of topical issues

Our training is fun and interactive, and uses quizzes and games

More about how our training is structured;

Our training is co-delivered with trainers with a learning disability. We conduct training on topics such as community connecting, supporting people through loss and grief, making a difference for parents with a learning disability and developing a social enterprise.  

We also deliver directly commissioned training and run specialised courses for people with a learning disability.

We aim to demonstrate how everyone can contribute towards providing better support and improved services and inclusion for all.

As our name says we want to help build bridges so that people with learning disabilities can be more included within their own communities.

We can train both staff in learning disability and in mainstream services who want to have a better understanding how to support people with a learning disability.

The training is delivered through a mixture of presentations, personal stories from the first-hand experience of the trainers and group activities. You will come away with many practical tips and ideas.

Handouts are provided to support the training session, and a certificate of attendance will also be provided at the end of the course.
