Customer Care
Virtually everyone has had at least one experience of poor Customer Care, be it from rude or unhelpful staff, undelivered promises, or something as simple as absence of an apology when experiencing a delay. Obviously there are examples of outstanding Customer Care but unfortunately these can seem to be the exception rather than the rule. What often frustrates customers is the fact that many of these grievances could be so easily avoided with thought, planning and training. This module is designed to show learners how they and their colleagues can make customers feel that their business is genuinely interested in them.

Dignity in Care
'Dignity' can be a difficult term to define. This is because dignity means different things to different people and can cover a wide range of topics. We believe that dignity is about ensuring that people in care are treated with dignity and respect in adult social care whatever the setting. The 2006 the Department of Health sought views from members of the public and health and social care staff to help identify examples where services did not treat people with dignity and respect. The study categorized the examples into four main areas, the environment that care and support being provided in, attitudes and behavior of workers, the culture of care within the organization and in care activities. Whilst poor service must always be challenged to ensure service respects people's dignity, we should not forget there are many examples of good practice..

Domestic Violence including the Impact on Children and Young People
On average, survivors of domestic violence contact 11 agencies before obtaining the help they need. On average, a woman is assaulted at least 35 times before she reports an assault to the police. Domestic violence is equally prevalent among all income groups and among people from all ethnic groups. Women who have experienced domestic violence are 15 times more likely to abuse alcohol, 9 times more likely to abuse drugs, 3 times more likely to be diagnosed as depressed or psychotic and 5 times more likely to attempt suicide. Considering these statistics, this e-learning course is suitable for any worker who is in regular contact or works regularly with children, young people and their families. The course will raise your awareness of the issues surrounding domestic violence particularly for those workers that come into contact with survivors.

Electricity Staying Safe
No employer would wish to expose his employees to electric shock as it can be, and often is, fatal. Unfortunately, practically all workplaces make use of electricity for some purpose, meaning that the risk of death or injury from electric shock is ever-present. Reducing this risk is a challenge because accidents involving electricity often result from a casual attitude brought about by familiarity with electricity as a power source, or simply a failure to appreciate the dangers of this hidden killer..

Fire Safety
Fire is the probably the biggest risk threat to life that most people face at work, with around 50 people being killed and over 2000 seriously injured every year.

Employers are legally required by Fire Safety Regulations to provide information, instruction and training to employees about the fire precautions in the workplace. This fire safety and evacuation training will help employers to fulfil this requirement by providing learners with the knowledge and understanding required to act safely in the event of a fire in the workplace

Manual Handling The Fundamentals
Pushing and pulling, lifting and carrying are seldom activities we pay much attention to. However, dealing with heavy and awkward loads - especially people - requires a careful and more considered approach. Serious injury can be sustained very easily when the incorrect technique is applied as many working in the health and social care sectors can testify. This training course addresses the difficulties presented by many manual handling tasks and provides detailed explanations of the issues involved and the correct approach in tackling them. Whilst geared to those whose job is caring for people directly, most of the material applies generally. Pushing heavy trolleys, lifting people and heavy equipment - simply picking up something from the floor - are all covered. The training course includes an interactive Case Study illustrating the potential hazards that could result from a seemingly simple activity.

Negotiation (Introduction)
This course overviews the key skills of negotiation as well as the structure of the negotiation process itself. The part that attitudes play in successful negotiation is also examined, enabling the learner to think about the appropriateness of their current attitudes. The importance of correct personal behaviour, such as body language, is considered and the learner is provided with practical guidance in this area. Achieving the learning outcomes of this course represents an excellent foundation for skill development which, when combined with the other 2 courses in the series, will place the learner in a strong position to become a highly effective negotiator. Negotiation is a difficult skill to master and, very often, managers believe they are able to negotiate successfully when this is not the case. The result of this misapprehension is a mixture of lost opportunity and spoilt relationships. By ensuring that all those people who need to negotiate are able to do so competently, the company will avoid these pitfalls..

Preparing for the Presentation
Too many managers, particularly the less experienced, believe that the secret of a successful presentation is simply to 'get up there and hit 'em between the eyes' with what they have to say. The truth is that, whilst the presentation style is obviously very important, it is what goes on beforehand that makes the difference. The course will help you make that difference by successfully preparing yourself, the environment and the presentation content. Managers waste much time and effort by making ineffective presentations. This course will ensure that managers are properly prepared to make presentations that really achieve their objectives. Time is therefore spent constructively, and communications achieve their purpose..

Teenage Pregnancy
The Government sought to address the problem of teenage pregnancies by formulating a Teenage Pregnancy Strategy, which set two targets. Firstly, to reduce the under 18 conception rate by 50% by 2010 and secondly, to increase the proportion of teenage mothers in education, employment or training (EET) to 60% by 2010.

This module looks at the risk factors associated with teenage pregnancy, including positive interventions aimed at reducing the under 18 conception rate. It is intended for all workers who are in regular contact with young people and/or their families to help them work towards achieving the above objectives..
