We have an exciting opportunity to work with a team of experts on a project that aims to deliver training to support wraparound provision to be inclusive and safe as well as supporting business skills to implement sustainable change.
This project aims to deliver training to support wraparound provision to be inclusive and safe as well as supporting business skills to implement sustainable change. Three courses designed specifically with this sector in mind and the unique challenges they face, will be offered free of charge to providers locally;
