Typical
Aims and Objectives of training |
 |
| |
|
|
| |
Ten principal aims are addressed and met on the
Project 5
three day intensive course. It is always the best approach to require
that all staff attend this initial training. Thereafter, shorter
annual update and refresher courses can be provided. If staff teams
are already experienced in the management of behaviour that challenges, it
may be that a shorter course of two or even one day may be adequate.
The aims to be met would be negotiated between the service provider and
The Shindo Trust. |
