What
we do
We are experienced in tailoring our training
to meet the needs of individual staff and services. Most importantly,
we are also skilled in helping staff use what they learn so it
has a positive impact on the people we support.
Our training and learning support for staff
focuses on best practice and reflects the strong values that Southdown
holds. Our trainers are experienced practitioners and managers
and our training is shaped by our experience of providing high
quality support – it is based on what we know works.
What we provide

in care, supported housing and supported employment (including
learning disabilities and mental health) – from induction
to more advanced courses
- Coaching, mentoring and individual study

Southdown’s training meets Skills for
Care induction standards and enables staff to achieve National
Vocational Qualifications and housing qualifications.
