We offer a range of free workshops designed to help organisations to get into gear with fulfilling their legal obligations, preparing to make good funding applications and ensuring that they are up-to-date with safeguarding responsibilities. We also run additional day courses in response to demand, and other events in partnership with funders, and local groups. We are always ready to explore new areas of training, so if you can’t see what you think you need, please talk to us.
