CARERS ACT TRAINING
It's been a while since we offered our successful in-house training, and now that the Act is live, we have updated the course.
We are happy to come to your team to deliver this training, or, alternatively, your team can come to our offices in Galashiels. Training is relaxed and interactive, and by the end of the session you will have a full understanding of your duties under the Act, as well as how, and why, to make a referral to The Borders Carers Centre.

Feedback has been incredibly positive:
"It was relaxed. I have attended carers centre training before in another local authority and felt a bit under attack as a social worker. I did not feel under attack today"
"This training was relevant, interesting, moving and should be attended by all workers in health & social work"
"The carer live spot was incredibly illuminating. I have no doubt that I will now go about my job differently now that I know exactly how it is"
"More of this type of training please! It was a really useful exercise"
"It really surprised me, as a professional, that I had no idea what a carer was. In fact, I cried as I realised I've actually been a carer all my adult life, and didn't even know...."
"I did not really expect to gain anything today. How wrong I was!"
"All my expectations were surpassed - it was a superb session"
"I'd really appreciate a top-up training in 6 months - to see what happens to the referrals I will now make"
"As a GP, I'd really like to offer joint flu clinics with the carers centre"
