A group of Carers who access support from the Local Solutions Carers Project have recently completed a unique training course facilitated by Mersey Care NHS Trust.

The course, entitled ‘Personal Safety for Carers’ , was run at the Liverpool Carers Centre in Hall Lane, Kensington over several months.

Twelve carers took part in a number of activities and workshops and have been awarded certificates for their achievements. The award forms part of education and Training in the recognition, prevention and therapeutic management of violence and aggression.

Our thanks go to Dave Riley, Personal Safety Co-ordinator and Tony Crumpton, Service Lead for assisting with the course. This course is also being offered in October 2007. For further information please call Maria Cook on 0151 705 2308.
