Thiscan be by individual schemes, groups of schemes or by a Shared Lives Plus branch orcountry committees. An information sheet on what each trainer has on offer, including anyadditional specialist training they can deliver, can be found at the end of this brochure. Theterms under which our trainers operate are also attached together with the form which theywill use to commission training with you.

Shared Lives Plus staff are available for use as co-trainers and for some courses (wherecurrent contact with Shared Lives carers and/or workers across the UK is vital to thecourse being useful), it will be specified that a member of Shared Lives Plus staff shouldalways be used as a co-trainer. In this instance, Shared Lives Plus will charge the trainer afee of 400 per day per staff member, which will be charged by the trainer to thepurchaser.

Shared Lives Plus will continue to monitor the quality of the training and feedback formswill be provided to assist with this.

My training is based on recent experience gained in the capacity of Registered Manager for a

local authority Shared Lives Lives Service for seven years. Like many LA services we had to put

together a robust business case complimented by a bespoke Pricing Tool in order to secure our

future, the success of which was reflected by approval for an increase in staffing, and ultimately

recognition by commissioners and senior management regarding the value and importance ofshared lives. I established a strong Independent Panel with experience in managing a variety of

Carer related issues, facilitated training on CIS for the team in order to cascade this down to

Carers, started to approve Carers able to offer a service in the individual's own home to include

the Asian community, and received consistently excellent outcomes from CQC inspections.

I have an NVQ level 4 in management and experience of supporting SW students as anaccredited Practice Assessor.

Prior to working with Shared Lives I was a manager in the Probation Service for several yearsand so have significant experience in working with vulnerable adults, and in partnership with other

professionals. My style has been described as collaborative, conscientious, and committed, andI look forward to the opportunity of working with you.
