able to provide greater evidence in relation to the attendance not only on sector but hopefully in relation to organisation for example:PCT, CLCH, MHT or hospital.It remains concerning that attendance of some sectors remain quite low, such as police, probation and adult social care and we mayneed to explore how to improve our communication with these sectors to increase attendance. Some agencies continue to providesingle agency training due to the large number of staff. Concerns are raised that the applicants who receive single agency trainingare not gaining the benefits of the multi agency training and therefore improving working relationships. The LSCB training departmentacknowledges the need to ensure that this single agency training is of the same standard as that of the LSCB and look towardsquality assuring the training offered within the tri borough area. Furthermore it is of note that the voluntary sector has a highpercentage of attendance, this may be due to the limited free training provided to this sector.Page 257The evaluations appear to be extremely positive with only a small proportion of candidates stating that objectives were only partiallymet or not met (0.5%). However, people may feel difficult in providing constructive feedback. The LSCB training team needs toexplore the objectives of courses and make sure that they are SMART and are reflective of the learning in the course program.Furthermore the training department needs to look at how the training delivered is impacting on children within the Tri Borough. Weare exploring several different evaluation proposals at present though these will be reliant on administrative support provided withinthe new structure.In relation to the evaluations of the trainer’s skills we have received positive feedback. 80% of participants have evaluated thetrainers knowledge of the subject as excellent. However participants would like greater balance between input from the trainer andgroup work. We continue to look at this and endeavour to provide more group learning activities within the training.Within this programme it was agreed that we should charge for non attendance and with the figures within this report it would suggestthat there has been an income of £11,450.00 from non attendance. However in February 2012 we had only recovered £4,300.00 ofthis money. This does not incorporate the income from charging private profit making organisations.- 40 -
