Voluntary Sector Care Providers Forum

Date: 18 Mar 2010
Time: 2:00pm - 3:30pm
Location: Vista, Margaret Road, Off Gwendolen Road, Leicester LE5 5FU

We are reconvening this vital and dynamic Forum and hope that you can attend the next meeting to join the discussion on two important topics.
Safeguarding Adults -
Do you know about the revised Policy and Procedures and where to find them? Are your staff trained to the right level and do you want to know about training for 2010? Do you want to know more about the No Secrets review, how safeguarding is managed in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and how you can have a say? Come and hear from Helen Pearson, Safeguarding Adults Coordinator for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Vocational Qualifications -
Janice Hayward from Vista will explain about the forthcoming changes in the qualifications framework. She will clarify what this means for NVQ qualifications, how staff can gather credits and the vision for the future.
