Reset Training Part Two

Before you welcome a family, you are required to attend training provided by Reset. This will prepare you for welcoming the resettled family.

Here are a few things to know about the second part of the required training:

• The training lasts for three hours and can take place on weekends or weekdays, depending on Reset's availability.
• Reset staff will travel to your region to conduct the training for your Group.
• The training is designed to be delivered as close as possible to the arrival of the family you will support.
• To attend, your Group should have submitted your application to the Home Office.
• There is no set number for how many Group members can attend a training session.
• In this session you’ll discuss cultural awareness, empowerment, setting boundaries in your support and the logistics of planning for arrival.

When it is safe to do so, training sessions will take place around the UK on a regular basis. Find a schedule of upcoming training dates here or get in touch to book your Part 2 training: [email protected]
