Tailored support to community groups
ADEPT has, with local community groups, developed a modular course - 'Working in Community Organisations'. The course is available accredited through the open College Network or in a workshop format.
Stand-alone modules can be delivered, or a combination of aspects of different modules creating a tailor-made package.
We are regularly commissioned to provide bespoke packages to support groups in their development and sustainability, by supporting them to arrive at their own solutions while achieving knowledge and skills for group members during this process.
ADEPT is an approved centre for the Open College Network, which ensures all of our training is delivered within a clear quality standard.
It also gives us the flexibility to provide tailor-made accredited training that is responsive to the needs of a community group and the individuals within it.
The changing nature of local communities and neighbourhoods makes it increasingly important to provide support that is flexible, adaptable and responsive to individual and community needs.
ADEPT has developed a dedicated resource for groups in the form of a website - groupsinaction.com .
This provides a range of materials including examples and templates, while offering steps, suggestions and things to avoid, as part of an ongoing resource.
We have also developed a learning module entitled "Facilitate your Group" aimed at those members of community groups who wish to provide additional support to new members or to extend the membership of their group.
This is available in a paper work book format at present, and is being developed as a web resource, and then as an e-learning accredited package.
