Vital Skills for Staff

"I started my role during the lock down and all the resources and support online have been a game changer. Very clear, easy to find and up to date. Just brilliant." – The Welcoming

About Vital Skills

Vital Skills consists of seven modules. Please note that we are currently only offering training online. The seven modules were developed by Befriending Networks to provide comprehensive grounding for new coordinators and managers, or a refresher for more experienced workers in a befriending team. All seven modules have been amended to ensure they cater to both distance befriending and face-to-face. The seven modules available are: 

• Training for Trainers
• Recruiting Befrienders
• Support and supervision
• Boundaries
• Risk Management
• Matching and Endings
• Managing Waiting Lists and Organisational Capacity

If you need any of the training courses for you or your team but do not see a date below, please get in touch. All courses are available to be purchased as a private run. Have questions about our training content and availability? Email Victoria@befriending.co.uk.
