Role Model Training

The first session to induct and prepare our fantastic role models took place on Wednesday 30th June, below is a comment from Lancashire adult learning trainer, Leslie,

"I have just had the pleasure of delivering a training session to 7 Role Models at the ACE Centre, Nelson. It was a joy to meet everyone and to hear everyone's stories. The session was to help in preparing for presentations at Community Panels etc. Some felt anxious, nervous, apprehensive about this, but by the end of the evening all felt happy, excited and enthusiastic to share their experiences. We put together a plan/guide for the presentation and also increased awareness of setting personal boundaries and a code of behaviour for role models. We also enjoyed a great buffet! Requests for further training were noted (communication skills, listening skills etc). I look forward to meeting more Role Models soon on the next sessions".
