Course type
One-day, face-to-face course.
Who attended?
This course was primarily for frontline staff who work with individuals with a cognitive disability who are at risk of contact, or in contact with the Justice System.
Participants had the opportunity to explore practical person centred ways of thinking and working with the people they support who have a cognitive disability and who might be in contact with the Justice system. There were opportunities for participants to practice specific skills and engage in activities that would build their knowledge and confidence as the day progressed.
This course complimented already available person centred courses throughout NSW.
