Take the opportunity to know more about First Aid.  The best training available, delivered on site by our team of experienced trainers who will make this course fun, interesting, practical and relevant to you.

Our First Aid training courses are a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical sessions that are designed to develop ability and most importantly practical confidence.

Training for volunteers and service users about recognising signs of abuse and procedures for safeguarding vulnerable people.  

A vulnerable adult is a person aged 18 years or over who may be unable to take care of themselves, or protect themselves from harm or from being exploited. This may be because they have a mental health problem, a disability, a sensory impairment, are old and frail, or have some form of illness. Workers within services who work with these individuals need to be aware of when their rights ma being violated and how they can support and protect them. This training is delivered by London Borough of Camden.

To book please email: natalie.treacher@hcct.org.uk.
