Why is there no course feedback recently?


Louise has been working on behalf of ECDP in providing training for Essex County Council around self-directed support since July. We are unable to reproduce this feedback on our website.


Can I still commission a course with you directly?

Yes, Louise still runs courses, workshops and similar as a freelance consultant and trainer.

E-learning modules - it makes sense.

More and more local authorities are starting to think about staff learning and development amongst the change to personalised budgets.

At IforI we have been working with four local authorities and a leading training provider to provide staff training within SDS.

More and more people struggle with face-to-face training when trying to implement systemic change quickly and effectively.

Our response has been a UK first in offering tailored, affordable e-learning and development modules to really put people first.

Featuring personal learning logs, self assessment and evaluation by qualified trainers, these modules are a fantastic and cost effective way to support staff through this time of change.

Find out more and view one of our modules here and download one of our brochures.
