Completely off topic, co - trainer Hannah told us about her prolapsed anus. I have learned more about the individuals presenting the training than I did about respecting and listening to individuals I support.
Didn’t learn anymore than the e-learning . People were falling asleep. Awful venue, a room with no windows, stuffy, chairs were not suitable for the length of the training. One hot drink was provided on arrival. Just very repetitive and waste of time. .
Worst training I have ever attended. Not interactive and morning session was more about the trainers family and the co host who had learning difficulties was unprofessional.
The course drifted away from the actual difficulties faced by Oliver and his parents, we knew about Autism it did not address the difficulties that Oliver’s voice was shut down and he wasn’t even given the chance to talk. Oliver had strong advocates, paperwork even letters from other professionals but the clinician and Dr chose to ignore these. The venue was poor people were actually falling asleep. The chairs uncomfortable 1 drink throughout the day. We had to sit in the most uncomfortable surroundings - our disabilities were not even thought about. Very poor planning, very little content. We need to have been shown how to empower the people we support and how to advocate, interactive training not just sat and talked at for 7 long and painful hours, at one point I found myself sitting on the floor to get some relief from the pain I was suffering. The course dhould have been a mix of professionals Dr, Gp’s Nurses not just the support workers, Dr are put on a pedestal we need tools to be able to allow the people we support to voice them. We needed role play and where we stand by law or stop Dr administering medication.
Morning presentation was majority irrelevant, no interaction - being talked at.
This module is poor, it is English focussed and when you give the right answers, it somehow thinks you've pressed the wrong ones. Very slow assessment confirm response, and very positive behaviour support orientated, which does NOT work for people with autism.
Highly irrelevant course content. Awful quiz containing inaccurate answers.
Very long Boring, Didn’t speak much about Oliver
Disjointed. The trainer was rude. One person turned up admittedly very late and she shouted at him to get out. No manners at all. Very rude. I arrived for the half day and the milk had run out for refreshments. I asked the trainer if we could have more and she said no once it's gone its gone despite the fact I had only just arrived. I decided to take the jug upstairs to the hotel team and they were more than happy to fill it up. Felt like the trainer was a drill sergeant or school teacher and kept telling people off for touching their phones. Very patronising and rude. Theres a way of encouraging engagement and hers was quite frankly embarrassing
The training was rushed and not delivered appropriately. There were people in the room who had never done moving and handling nor basic life support. These people did not get adequate training to go out there and work. Some couldn't even do CPR appropriately and still got passed. It is not safe for these people to go out there and practice! There was adequate time to go through MH procedures, teach how to use a hoist! There was a bed but it wasn't even used!
