[Margaret Pilkington]

I think that the carers who are employed should be those who WANT to care.......and those training courses, well I have delivered training to staff (carers) who just saw the training day as a 'skive'.......a day away from the coal face so to speak.......I have also heard those on training courses say they were 'sent'...this means that they aren't all that interested in what is being delivered.
Carers should be able to see the relevance of the training they are doing and be able to appreciate the impact of such training on the work they do every day.
