Values Into Action Scotland
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.
Contact us for details!
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!
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.”
