A helping hand to demystify confirmed and proposed changes to the benefit system
Are you confused about benefits? Are you unsure about Welfare Reforms and how they will impact your service users? Welfare Benefits Training from CraigOwl can help. The Program is designed to advise staff on changes to the benefit system by providing tailored and relevant sessions that can meet the specific requirements of organisations from a variety of sectors.
The half day sessions are presented by an experienced and knowledgeable benefits adviser, who can discuss any organisational/individual needs before the session so that the training fulfils any expectations or requirements.
Joy Watson, CraigOwl Wider Role Co-ordinator, states that “if you work with vulnerable people or people on benefits, the recent and future changes to the benefit system can be confusing and their impact uncertain. We are Scottish National Standards for Advice accredited which demonstrates that we are proficient in 33 topics in relation to Welfare Benefits, money and housing advice. In addition to this, we hold the sessions on your premises- saving you money on travel expenses!”
The training is ideal for people working in a range of sectors: housing, tenancy support, employability agencies, Trade Unions, NHS staff, Social Care, and many more. If you think you or your organisation could benefit from Welfare Benefits Training please contact Joy Watson on 01382 458475 or jwatson@hillcrestha.org.uk.
