The Department is delighted to announce that the Emotional Health & Wellbeing and Nutrition courses are now each categorised into a tiered learning and skills framework. These frameworks will help to inform you which courses are suited to your Personal and Professional Development.

We are offering three new courses in this edition; ‘Exploring the contents of Thriving Mind’, ‘Introduction to Personal and Public Involvement’ and ‘Baby Massage’. Three courses are returning; ‘Boccia Leaders Award’, ‘Disability Inclusion Training’ and ‘Solihull 2 Day Foundation Training’.
Courses will be delivered face to face in a range of locations across the Western Trust or via Zoom.
