Training & Education Programme

Training and Education team

In partnership with the Liverpool Adult Learning Service, we developed an Assertiveness and Confidence Building Course for our residents. We have piloted this with clients from the Floating Support Service. Twelve clients completed the course which comprised on one session a week for a period of six weeks. The venues varied between Adult Learning premises and our own projects, and we provided lunch and refreshments for the delegates.

We are really pleased with the outcome of this course. Hodo Deria, Temporary HSR Manager, who supported the clients through the course said she could visibly see the change in the clients as their confidence increased and as friendships developed amongst the group.

The course was funded mainly through the Adult Learning programme, and supplemented from the Welfare Fund. We are now going to roll this out across all our Merseyside services, and after asking these clients what would have made it better for them we will be making some improvements to the length and delivery of the course.
