VCI training

Training available to the voluntary, community and independent sector.

In July 2007, the GRID (VCI reference group for the Children's Trust) secured a three year grant from the Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC) to offer training more widely to members of the voluntary, community and independent sector.

If your organisation would like a CD ROM containing a copy of the training directory or a paper copy, please contact Di Hinchley (see below for number).

Places are limited to two per organisation per geographical area so early booking is highly recommended. If you require any further information then please contact Di Hinchley in the Workforce Development Team on 01629 532093 or email: diane.hinchley@derbyshire.gov.uk.

The training directory can be accessed in the related documents section at the bottom of this page, it is in four parts due to the size of the document.

Training For All (ARC)
ARC has been awarded funding from Capacity Builders ‘Improving Reach 2008 -11’ investment programme to address this issue by working with BME VCS learning disabilities organisations and training sector organisations to develop protocols to improve access to and knowledge of the training needs of the BME VCS learning disability sector.

The development of these protocols will ensure more small BME VCS learning disability organisations in England receive high-quality support services which are appropriate for them.

The protocols will enable them to access nationally recognised training that takes account of their cultural needs, thereby ensuring such organisations are fully able to maximise their potential and increase their day to day focus on services that they deliver to BME people with learning disabilities.
