Ageing Well Training for AWD Providers 2024

  • Time:

This is a two-day course and participants will be expected to arrive promptly and attend both days in order to gain their certificate. We can accept applications from any provider who works within the geographical boundaries of Essex County Council.

It is aimed at staff working with adults who have a learning disability and/or Autism and who may be considered to be ageing.

We are aware that we are supporting a generation of adults who are living to a greater age due to better living conditions and healthcare. They will be experiencing signs of ageing such as Dementia and frailty and this may happen earlier than the general population.

The course aims to look at areas such as identifying the signs of ageing, healthcare, recording and future planning.

The course will be held at Hamptons Sports and Leisure, Tydemans, off, Beehive Ln, Great Baddow, Chelmsford CM2 9FH.

Car parking costs £1 for the day. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
