VIAS are introducing a brand new training course called Values of Supporting People.

We will be offering a fresh perspective on what really matters most when it comes to supporting people. This course is designed and delivered by individuals with lived experience of learning disabilities and/or autism. Places are still available for this course.

The whole VIAS team had a wonderful time at our Annual General Meeting yesterday, a huge thank you to everyone who attended!

Here’s to another year of promoting rights choices and responsibilities for people with learning disabilities and individuals on the autistic spectrum!

VIAS is delighted to welcome David Douglas as our lead consultant for training!

David will be well known to many within the social care sector in Scotland having worked in the voluntary sector for over 20 years including Key Community Supports and Enable Scotland before setting up his own training and consultancy company in 2004. David’s track record in supporting individuals and their families to really call the shots sits very well with the aims and values of VIAS along with his experience of helping to transform services and organisations across the UK.

CEO Norma Curran says: “David comes to VIAS with a wealth of experience and I am delighted to welcome him as part of the team. Training is a key element of our quality improvement service and is an integral part of our development plan. I am very pleased that this important element of our service is in safe hands.”

VIAS’s 2019 A.G.M. is ready to lift off on Wednesday the 4th of December!

We are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. What were the lives of the people we represent like then? What are they like now?

The dress code is 60’s style.

A light lunch will be provided. If you have any dietary requirements, please call us on 0141 212 3395.
