How is the training delivered?
Your learning starts by completing the eLearning and selected modules about the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) and the principles of a trauma-informed response. If you wish to receive CPD accreditation for this course, all the pre-elements are required.
This prepares you to engage effectively in the 90-minute live session where a staged case study of a potential victim explores how you respond. This enhances your trauma-informed response skills in the context of legislative measures, such as the NRM. The learning emphasis is on trauma-informed response.
Further learning is offered where there is 30 minutes of online training resources to complete your learning that matches your training needs. These include FAQs, legislation overview and procedures.
