Following some recent bespoke training recently for Slimbridge Wetland Centre, we have received some more wonderful feedback from a delegate, AB. It was so good, we had to share it. They said: “I just wanted to pass on my thanks to you for arranging the training (Face-fit testing and Defibrillator training). It was really valued and one of our volunteers has fed back that Danny (trainer) was good at explaining the first aid relating to AEDs, as well as their use and was good at answering the volunteers questions. He also showed the volunteers in detail our new AED and was able to explain any differences with that. Great trainer and really valuable training. Thank you.”

Today is Carers rights Day https://bit.ly/47joomB Whether you are a new carer or have been caring for someone for a while, it’s important that you understand your rights and are able to access the support that is available to you as soon as you need it. Carers Rights Day helps ensure carers are aware of those rights and let carers know where to get help and support. This year's Carers Rights Day campaign will focus on Know your rights, use your rights. We work closely with lots of carers providing various training such as administration of medication and people handling to name just a few and truly value our time spent with them all and admire them for the challenges they face daily.

The temperature has really dropped this week. Make sure you protect workers during low temperatures and wintry conditions by ensuring you have risk assessments and the correct guidance on working in cold and wintry weather. You need to clarify what the law says about temperature in the workplace, have guidance for working outdoors and provide advice on how to protect workers in low temperatures. You also need to be mindful of on how to prevent slips and trips in winter weather. If you require support with guidance, our consultants can help https://bit.ly/4hfkPCO
