Some of the training we have done in 2010

We have been very busy doing quite a lot of training this year.

We did some training at the Estia Centre. We trained loads of staff there. We thought it was going to be quite a small group but lots of people came.

It went very well. People said it was excellent and we got a lot of good feedback from them. We are going to be doing more work with the Estia Centre later this year.

We trained some young students at Clapham College as well. The training was about self-advocacy and speaking up for yourself, and being in control of your life.

We did this for the British Institute of Leaning Disabilities. They are going to use what we did in a course they are writing.

We went to Birmingham to do some training for Values Into Action. We were helping them as well with their course they are writing for people with learning difficulties.

We trained a group of people with learning difficulties about self-advocacy and being in control of your life (instead of the staff taking control of your life).

We also trained some fire fighters this year. It was good to train the fire people. It was nice to work with them.

We thought training the fire people would be hard but it was nice to talk to them and we got good feedback from them. We trained them to work with people with learning difficulties a bit better. They didn't all have a lot of experience of working with people with learning difficulties. When we trained them they said it was a good way of learning how to interact with us.

We are pleased that we are getting all this work now because we were worried that people might not have been interested in our training. Now we have had all this work we think people are interested in our training. It's worked out well.

It is good that we can get our point across. It is about what we think. If it wasn�t for us we wouldn't have any training. We made it happen. So we are happy about it. It is like a business now. We are doing well in 2010.
