Training

KCA’s training starts with an in-depth look at the development needs of an organisation and the way in which training will contribute to practice outcomes.

We believe that a ‘whole systems’ approach is fundamental to creating sustained, systemic change and therefore seek to impact on organisational:

• culture, through developing shared understanding and knowledge;
• practice, through supporting the application of knowledge to practice;
• structures, through supporting leaders to consider mechanisms to support sustainability, such as Champions models and policy development; and
• review systems, through ensuring the impact of our input is evaluated.

Our co-creation approach ensures that we work with our commissioners to develop learning inputs that meet the needs of their learners and promote social enquiry, experiential learning and skill development through connected learning. We achieve this by creating blended learning journeys that use face to face training (where permitted), webinars, online web-tutorials, e-learning, online mentoring and associated resources to support learning, facilitate discussion and encourage practice sharing.

KCA has invested in our own in-house learning management system, KCA Connected, to support the delivery and management of learning journeys. This ensures a streamlined workflow, maximum data security, and minimum overhead on administration and communications. Our system also enables us to offer organisations effective event registration processes, promotional design and longitudinal impact evaluation.

• Webinars for small service, specific groups to multi-agency audiences of up to 500
