More about the modules:

Communication Skills

The ability to communicate effectively is essential, no matter where you volunteer, it sounds like it should be instinctive but often when we say one thing it can be misinterpreted leading to misunderstandings and frustration.

Boundaries and Confidentiality

Boundaries set the limits of what is and is not acceptable and help to protect ourselves and service users by clarifying what types of behaviour and language will or will not be tolerated. Confidentiality involves protecting and actively promoting the dignity and privacy of service users.

PLEASE ONLY REGISTER IF YOU ARE SURE TO ATTEND.

This training is free to join but there is a cost for us to deliver.

NB. A charge of £30 will be incurred for non-attendance not notified to us within 48 hrs of the course start time; this will be invoiced to you or your organisation.

Slough CVS is a local charity funded to support groups in Slough, Windsor, Ascot , Maidenhead and surrounding areas so please only register for this training if you provide services or intend to volunteer in the areas we serve. If we have places available 24 hours before the start of the training and you would like to attend but are not in our area of benefit, please email enquiries@sloughcvs.org.uk and we will try to accommodate you.
