📣 Training Spotlight: Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training
This week marks a major step forward for our team! We are thrilled to have our first staff members attending the mandatory Tier 2 Oliver McGowan Training! 🧠
Getting this essential training off the ground has been a significant challenge for us. As a provider, finding courses that didn't require us to release full staff teams for a full day—which we simply couldn't manage while maintaining safe staffing levels—proved to be incredibly difficult. We were facing a real roadblock with only full-day, paid options available.
That's where the amazing partnership with the Bury Care Academy came in! 🤝
We raised our dilemma with their team, and in response, they generously offered us the opportunity to spot-purchase spaces on courses they are already running. This flexibility is a game-changer!
This is truly joint working at its finest!
A massive thank you to the team at Bury Care Academy for supporting us and our staff in achieving this critical training standard.
Our team is looking forward to attending the courses over the coming weeks and bringing this vital knowledge back to enhance the care we provide.
