About the Train the Training pack

The pack is designed to be over four separate sessions or four half-days and is ideal for carers who have various commitments. Ideally, start at 10am till about 1pm and have a break or lunch. The other option is early afternoon although the best times that appears to work for carers is the morning session, as so often they require being back early afternoon to attend to their caring commitments.

The time for each session is from 2-3 hours and this depends on the relaxation sessions plus discussion. As this is a subject very close to most carers, there is always a lot of discussion which also helps them to understand not only their own issues but those of others.

The complete pack consists of:

 

 Icebreakers/energisers

 Handouts

 Workbooks

 Powerpoint presentation slides

 Activities/exercises

 Evaluation form

 Registration form

 Trainer notes

 Certificate of attendance

 Single Trainer Licence Agreement

Use the Registration Form to keep a log of all who have attended and at the end of the session or at the end of the four sessions, ask all attendees to complete an Evaluation Form.

The presentation is ready to deliver training to carers and young carers and all that is required is to print off workbooks and handouts.
