We know family carers provide a lot of unpaid care and support for their relatives and have few opportunities to access training for themselves and their staff.  The upcoming CBF trauma awareness workshop on 22nd October is fully funded and available to family carers who manage a Direct Payment Package. Plus, you can join with your PAs, to ensure everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet and working together to support your relative in the way that works for them. Express your interest by filling this form and we will reach out to you with booking details!  Fill this form now: https://lnkd.in/efVTPSK2 If you have any questions, you can contact us at workshops@thecbf.org.uk or call 01634 838739
