Group Work Skills Training

Participants are enabled to identify and demonstrate the skills and knowledge necessary to plan and deliver group sessions using community development values to address health and wellbeing within communities.

The training is designed to help participants develop their knowledge, skills and confidence in facilitating group sessions.  We will explore some very practical elements of group management as well as looking at leadership and behaviour in groups. There will be practical tips for managing difficult, or awkward, situations and behaviours. The training will offer participants an opportunity for critical reflection, where they can unpick their practice and think about what they might do differently. We will explore community development and personal values so that we can better understand how they impact on our engagement with people and groups. 

Priority will be given to groups who are currently undertaking a BCPP Project.
