Our Trainers
Our training is delivered by experienced and specialist trainers and practitioners from our own highly considered services as well as trusted associate trainers enabling us to root our training in current best practice.
Young Trainers
We believe that having the young person’s voice in our training enriches the learning experience and is vital in ensuring it remains relevant and grounded in lived experience.
Therefore where relevant and appropriate we aim to involve young people in the development and delivery of our training. They are trained and supported through our Young Trainer programme.
Venues
We can offer training at your own venue, or you can use one our dedicated training spaces based in the communities in which we work – Sussex, Surrey and Brighton & Hove.
