Learn Together Work Together

A minimum of two free places are available for the voluntary sector on most Children's Services courses.  Details of the learning opportunities available, together with booking information, can be found on the Children's Services section of The Learning Zone http://htlc.hants.gov.uk/courses/provhome.asp?p=LDCS As learning opportunities information is being updated, individual course details may not necessarily reflect that the voluntary sector can access the training.  If in doubt, please contact the Children's Services Workforce Development Admin team via email:  cs.nominations@hants.gov.uk or call 01962 715669       There may be a charge for non-attendance at training, where no apologies are given, in order to reduce the number of no-shows on the day, which leads to considerable waste of resources.

  

 

Places still available Children's Services sometimes have places available on certain courses where the take-up has not been as high as expected.  Details of these courses will appear here.
