Training

Training for Members, Clients and Personal Assistant Employers is imperative to a successful working relationship.
Initially, CILK will link into established training courses. For example: A Personal Development Course was held for 16 people, with trainers from Southampton Centre for Independent Living.

Although training will be focused mainly at individuals seeking training around Independent living, CILK believe that training should also be available for individuals, organisations, business sector etc.

A range of training is available from: Personal Development, Mentoring, Disability Equality Training, Social Model Training Workshops, Employing Personal Assistants, Training for potential and existing personal assistants (training for PAs will aim to give participants an understanding of: disability from an equalities perspective, Independent Living principles, the role of a PA, how the local service or scheme works, moving and assisting safely).
