INTRODUCTION This report provides a summary of the Community Sector Training (CST) programme in 2009/10. CST is an integral part of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust’s (SHSCT) Promoting Wellbeing Department focused on:

• Improving health and wellbeing

• Reducing health inequalities

• Working in partnership with community, voluntary, statutory and public sector agencies to maximise health improvement and user involvement.

The mission statement of the CST Project is: ‘To improve health and wellbeing by sharing expertise through community education.’ Community Development and involvement is central to health improvement and the work to reduce health inequality. Working in partnership with local groups and communities to identify needs, develop capacity and resource and plan and develop services are key elements within this work. The CST programme seeks to build knowledge, skill, capacity and resource that will assist local groups, organisations and partners to maximise their role in this work. An external Evaluation Report was completed in 2009, which stated that an important outcome for the Project was its: ‘demonstration of a model of good practice in terms of effective community engagement and of the value of a partnership approach between organisations and sectors.’ CST provides training in a way which is developmental and empowering, offering the community sector a shared knowledge base from which to work with the statutory and voluntary sectors. The positive evaluation also underlined the ‘evidence of added value to Health and Social Services’ provided by CST and its cost effective model of working. This Annual Report will concentrate on a summary of this year’s achievements, resources and impact.

SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS 2009/10 This year the Annual Report is brought up to date with the commissioning cycle to March 2010, but including information on the groups trained from July 2008 to March 09. From July 2008 to March 2010 CST has provided Child Protection and good practice training, including training in the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 to 1304 participants in the SHSCT area. This involved a total of 95 courses provided to 261 organisations. These included two Designated Person’s course delivered to participants from thirteen groups. In total, approximately 7,300 participants have received Child Protection training in the Trust’s area since 2000. CST also provides training in Community Development Approaches in Health and has provided tailored courses to 8 groups during this period.

CST continues to aim to reach new groups and groups that have never had training before. Refresher Courses are provided for groups who were trained more than three years ago. There is also return need from groups with new members/volunteers. We have seen an increased interest from sports groups, arts based groups and various BME groups. Other groups trained by CST include community associations, community development groups, church groups, sports’ groups, bands’ groups early year’s groups and youth groups. The community development approach in the training, involving close liaison with groups to suit their needs, is crucial to successful engagement with them. The networking opportunity provided by bringing groups together, as well as the exchange of information and shared learning, is very much appreciated by the participants. A group from Drumellan, Craigavon completed the Open College Network’s (OCNNI) accredited version of the course, and gained eighteen credits at Level Two. For this participants are required to undertake a significant amount of home study and complete a portfolio. Programme evaluation with participants and groups has highlighted the value of training in relation to supporting groups in their practice, building confident communities that are able to protect the children they work with and undertake a wide range of activities successfully and safely.

STRUCTURE OF THE PROJECT The Project Management Structure within SHSCT area is as follows:

The role of the Management Group is as follows:

• Strategic Management.

• Decisions on direction and development of project.

• Decisions regarding community training needs and access.

• Formal links to Child Protection Panel

• Links to Promoting Wellbeing locality teams and to community sector representatives.

• Dissemination of monitoring evaluation and outcomes of the project to Trust, Board, Community and Voluntary Sectors.

The Management Group meets quarterly, and since 2004 has strengthened broad based representation from community, which is vital in the successful engagement of the community in the Project. (The current membership of the Management Group is listed in Appendix 1). The Project Manager and Administrator facilitate and support the CST training team (Appendix 2).

Community Reference Groups (CRGs) The CRGs based in the three localities of the Trust have helped extend the project and develop existing links within the community. They have brought the training to the attention of a wider range of local community groups. At the CRG meetings, evaluations from courses are available to the group. The CRGs also look closely at gaps in those receiving training in their locality, and develop plans to address these. They also provide a networking opportunity for groups in the locality areas. Participants of CST’s courses are welcome to join the CRGs if they wish. The membership of the CRGs is detailed in Appendix 3 CST representation on other fora CST has been represented on a number of relevant coordinating bodies such as the Southern Area Child Protection Committee’s Education and Training Sub Group, the Regional Child Protection Co-Ordination Forum, the Craigavon and Banbridge Community Forum. This year the Project Manager joined the Protect Life Training Advisory Group and is joining the Investing for Health Education and Lifeskills sub group. As the External Evaluators discovered these contacts improve ‘strategic linkages, informing training content and maintaining the currency and relevance of training’.

CHILD PROTECTION

Training Programme

Courses offered by CST include the Six-Session Course in Child Protection Awareness and the Children (Northern Ireland) Order. Trainers can also provide an additional session on policy development, to help groups finalise their own policies and procedures, once a group has completed the course. The sessions are as follows: Module 1 - Basic Child Protection Awareness Module 2 - Policy & Procedure Module 3 - Children (NI) Order (1995) Module 4 - Protecting Yourself Module 5 - Recruitment, Selection & Supervision of Staff/Volunteers Module 6 - Keeping Children Safe on Residentials Two additional courses are also available: 1) Parents’ Course – Keeping Children Safe in today’s world 2) Designated Persons’ Course The Southern Health and Social Services Board developed the module on the Children’s Order. The other modules were adapted from the training pack ‘Keeping Safe’ which was developed by ‘Away from Home and Safe’ and the Northern Ireland Volunteer Development Agency. The training pack has been updated to include new statistical material from the Southern Area Child Protection Committee and PSNI, new scenarios and information on the Vetting and Barring Scheme and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA). Open College Network Accreditation The Child Protection Course is accredited with Open College Network NI (OCNNI). The accredited course will be available for those groups or group members who are interested in gaining a recognised accreditation for personal development reasons. This year it was decided to highlight the benefit of the accredited course for those interested in a career in childcare or youth work, as a prelude to further study.

Evaluation

Systematic evaluation and monitoring are an integral part of training courses. Evaluation of training provided was undertaken after each session and 2940 (100%) of the evaluations returned have been read and a random sample of 50% have been analysed for each module. The method of evaluation requires each participant to complete an evaluation form at the end of each module as well as a detailed final evaluation form. These were then analysed using Software Programmes for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Module

Indicators of Success

The following is a summary of the evaluations and positive outcomes for the community groups: As suggested by a couple of groups, CST will be able to provide the training using digital projectors, where the equipment is available to trainers/groups. In the External Evaluation process groups were asked to consider the aspects of the training they felt made it effective for them. The key responses highlighted the importance of the community based trainers:

• ‘the trainer was local and knew the area well’

• ‘opportunity to build the relationship with the trainer…’

• ‘there was time available for one-to-one help for each participant’

• ‘the trainer was approachable’

Post Training Evaluation

There have been some measurable changes in the practice of groups due to the training. In a post training evaluation questionnaire 70% (20) of respondent groups stated that they made or were making substantial changes in the running/management of their groups as a direct result of the course. Those who did not make changes indicated that they already had policies and procedures in place, mostly through earlier training from CST, and this training highlighted the importance of these. Changes made included:

• New child protection policies developed and everyone involved made aware of them.

• Full Child Protection Policy plus supporting procedures.

• Appointment of Designated Officer.

• Policy and Procedure notices.

• Now aware of how to handle and report to authorities if required.

• New vetting procedures being put in place for all coaches via AccessNI.

• Child protection policies being revisited.

• When running events, new and improved safeguards were introduced.

• New staff members are now more aware of the reasons for policies.

• All staff members more confident about handling situations.

• With new policies and procedures in place events ran more smoothly and with confidence.

44% of the responding groups take children away on trips. Changes made as to how they prepare include; only people who have completed the training are allowed to supervise day trips/residentials; information received will be used in the setting up of new youth group in the community centre; check lists are now more informed; staff more aware and confident; improved knowledge and guidance for the volunteers; aware how problems could arise.

14

27% of the groups who responded undertook the Recruitment and Selection Module. Changes included; enhanced checks and background screening; policies will be reviewed and updated. 55% of the groups said that they would consider supervision for volunteers and staff. Reasons stated included; keep new members updated; due to the precarious nature of child supervision; as part of the support mechanism put in place for all volunteers/staff; to better protect the needs of the group. 89% of the groups who responded said that they would now feel confident in making a referral to social services. There is some fear of loss of anonymity if referring someone from the community. One group said that they would prefer to talk to the NSPCC first.

A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT APPROACH TO HEALTH ISSUES IN NORTHERN IRELAND

Delivery of Training

Since CST started to deliver the Community Development approaches to Health programme in Autumn 2002, - (in line with the Southern Health and Social Service Board’s Community Development Strategy 2000, and its Action Plan 2005 – 2009 to ‘promote community development values, principles and practice and the provision of training to the community and voluntary sectors’ in the Southern area) - the training in full or in part has been delivered to 56 community groups. During this period 600 people have undertaken training. This year the short themed courses were provided to 98 people in 8 groups with issues and materials chosen to suit the needs of the group. Appendix 6 provides details on the groups trained in-year.

Evaluation

This year the courses were individually tailored to suit the needs and interests of the groups involved. This approach means that the trainer takes a lead from the groups as the course progresses, and allows issues that arise to be dealt with as fully as possible in the time allocated. The groups were also alerted to their right to be involved under Personal and Public Involvement. The courses focussed on the Social Model of Health, raising awareness of the effects of social issues on the health of individuals and communities, and the positive impact of community engagement and collective action. The participants took the opportunity to discuss these issues and express their views in a supportive and encouraging environment. They reported an increase in their confidence and capacity to take action on some of these concerns, and plans to be more involved in their communities. The groups involved ranged from a group for people with a range of physical disabilities, a group with special needs, to a Travellers Advocate Group. Because of some literacy difficulties some of the

17

feedback was more oral and visual, using a wheel evaluation and group feedback with a care worker.

The feedback continues to be very positive. People enjoy the opportunity to discuss issues of interest, learn from each other and look at health and wellbeing from a different perspective. Participants report an increase in their confidence to participate in their communities and communities of interest.

Learning Outcomes Met

• 80% of participants could identify the medical & social models of health

• 80.7% could describe factors/determinants that could influence health

18

Participants were asked a number of questions at the end of the course: What were your expectations of this course? ‘To learn how to be more confident’ ‘To understand health issues and obtain contacts of organisations I may refer to’ ‘Guidance and support …in relation to accessing services’ ‘To learn how to keep ourselves healthy and safe’ Which sessions or activities did you enjoy the most? and Why? ‘Each individual sharing their thoughts’ ‘The talk on rural areas and how to stand up for your rights’ ‘Listening to the trainers stories’ ‘group work – each participant feels relaxed and confident to speak out especially during the case studies’ What do you think are the main things that you have learned from doing the course? ‘To keep going to the women’s group and learn more about my community’ ‘….People might listen to you more if you speak as a group instead of just one person’ ‘To become more confident’ ’positive action to take about making decisions’ ’Feel strong able to cope better, relate back to things I picked up’ What have you done differently as a result of your learning on the course? ‘We have asked the Manager in Prospects if we can do more sessions on healthy eating & exercise’ ‘I would be more sure of myself and to talk up’

19

Do you have any plans to use what you have learned here in your own work or in your community? Please give details. ‘Yes be more assertive’ ‘The women’s group are intending to start a community pharmacy project which will engage and encourage the Traveller community to take part. This community project will work with a local pharmacist and other local service providers to break down barriers on both sides’ ‘Would be interested in a more intensive specialised course’

Outcomes

The themes of this course continue to be relevant for the community sector. Materials will continue to be adapted to meet need. The external Evaluators stated that the benefits of the training included: ‘Added value to Health and Social Services in Promotion of community capacity including for positive user and public engagement’; ‘Promotion of community responses to the wider determinants of health through the provision of training based on a social model’; ‘Opportunity to capitalise on the model of working demonstrated by CST in order to address the effective communication of other key health and well-being messages.’ The Government’s initiative on Personal and Public Involvement (PPI) makes ‘engagement, active participation and partnership-working’ a statutory duty for the HPSS. Ensuring communities are informed of the issues and skilled up to be enabled to have a real voice in the promotion of wellbeing, and collective involvement in action to tackle problematic health issues is key to the Trust’s approach to PPI. The provision of the course has encouraged partnership working in the Southern Trust’s area, such as the link between Community Sector Training, and a range of statutory, voluntary and community partners. This approach has worked well to engage the community and promote social inclusion.

20

The External Evaluators gave some striking examples of the outcomes achieved in this training: ‘Movement on to higher education or further training’ ‘New or increased involvement in community projects’ ‘Improvement in employment prospects and examples of individuals enjoying increased job-mobility’ ‘Increased political awareness and increased involvement in local community action’ This year although the courses run were of short duration, they have sparked some very positive action:

• One group got involved in becoming advocates for their own community.

• One group involving participants with learning disabilities requested more sessions on healthy eating and exercise.

• One carer’s group was strengthened by the training resolving to be more assertive.

• A women’s group are intending to start a community pharmacy project.

• Participants got involved in an operational group for their sector. This training helps to encourage and enable participation and citizenship by promoting the confidence and capacity of local groups to participate in efforts to enhance the health and wellbeing of their local community, and address underlying issues which adversely affect it. It aims to be part of the skills building of groups to enable their involvement in the development of health and social care services.

The Future

The recent External Report concludes that CST is a model of partnership working between the community, voluntary and statutory sectors, which should continue; and influence other programmes aiming to engage with the community

The CST Management Group has undertaken a review of its role and responsibilities with an aim of ‘strengthening of the partnership’s identity and purpose.’ In a post evaluation workshop an action plan has been put together by the Management Group that will form the basis for the future development of the Project..

21

This year the CST base was moved into the Promoting Wellbeing Department at St. Luke’s Armagh. The training continues to be provided by community based trainers in community venues and the ethos of the project is and will remain the same. CST will continue to meet the training needs of the community sector in relation to child protection, safeguarding and community development, taking budgetary and logistic considerations into account. We will continue to engage closely with the groups being trained and maintain an overall consistency in quality of training. The Training materials will be regularly updated to include the most recent statistical material and any new legislative information. This year new material is being included about the Sexual Offences Order and the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups’ Order, as well as Area Child Protection Committee’s obligations in accordance with the ACPC’s Regional Policy and Procedures. The Project Manager will maintain links with relevant Trust wide and Regional Fora. This raises the profile of CST as well as providing vital links and information. She will also continue to promote the work of CST at community networking events and to relevant Trust panels, local Councils and Education Sectors. We will seek to fit elements of the Community Development and Health programme into other training being provided through the PWB department, liaising closely with groups to ensure relevance. CST will seek to involve the umbrella organisations in helping to target groups and agree topics from the programme that interest the community. Comprehensive evaluations will continue to be undertaken to inform the ongoing development of CST programmes and to maximise the potential contribution of community development in promoting health and wellbeing and reducing health inequalities across the southern area.
