This DDP PACE Training for All training will be piloting a new twilight delivery model. This innovative approach will allow DDP PACE training to be delivered in five two and a half hour (5 x 2.5 hrs) evening sessions in an online format.
Sessions will be using Teams on 23 January, 6 and 20 February, 5 and 19 March, 2024.
All sessions will include an introduction to PACE and reflect on how the attitude of PACE relates to the session content. More information about DDP PACE Training and PACE can be found on the main DDP Network site.
There will be opportunities to practice the attitude of PACE and to consider how to provide behavioural support alongside PACE. Participants will come away with an increase in their knowledge, skills and confidence to be PACE-ful.
