This three-day course meets the knowledge
requirements of one of the 10 Mandatory Units for LDAF at
Levels 2 and 3. The course focuses on understanding how
relationships, social contexts and cultural norms can affect
communication. It includes how the need for help with
communication might be identified and accessed, how to use
referential and augmented communication, and examines issues
about communication through physical contact. The
course also considers how candidates should offer support to
people who are distressed, and how to manage their own
feelings which may be generated by the situation.
The course is open to candidates from the Partnership Trust,
the three PCTs, Gloucestershire Social Services, private and
voluntary services. Course fees for private and
voluntary services are detailed at the back of this
