Training
Under the human rights act (article 8) everyone has the right to respect for a private and family life, home and contact. This includes the right to have friendships and relationships. We can support this right through the delivery of our workshops.
We work in partnership with The U Night Group, Cloverleaf Advocacy, Voice4All and other partners, to offer friendships, sex and relationship training and online safety training. These can be delivered online or face-to-face. Where people require support, support staff and family members are encouraged to take part too.
All of our courses are aimed at people with learning disabilities and have been co-designed and are co-delivered by our friendship and relationship ambassadors.
We provide training directly and can also be commissioned by organisations who may want to train a number of people that they support.
