Training for change

A training pack to support adults with learning disabilities to become trainers

People with learning disabilities are often asked to give training – to staff, student nurses and social workers, for example. They are also training other people with learning disabilities. The Training for Change pack will help you to do this training.

The pack is for people with learning disabilities who understand what self-advocacy is; who are in self-help groups or self-advocacy courses; may have done some training or voluntary work; or who may have done some relevant courses at college or in adult education.

This pack tells you about all sorts of things to do with training – from being in a group to going to meetings to doing training and what you need to think about. This pack has easy words and pictures. There are 16-modules and a word bank of useful terms. Each module follows the same format and has the same set of headings. There is also a video cassette showing different kinds of training and an audio cassette for people who cannot read or are blind or visually impaired. All the items come packed in an attractive portfolio carrier.

People with learning disabilities who have done the course or who have a lot of experience as a trainer can co-tutor the course.  Open College accreditation is again available for this course.  There is a tutor accreditation guide that goes with the pack.

Readership: organisations and individuals working to training adults with learning difficulties to become trainers.
