Training for your Personal Assistant can also have a positive effect on the way they approach their work. As well as learning new skills, some of the training your PAs can access is around encouraging a positive attitude towards disabled people and reinforcing the fact that you are the employer and that you should be in control of how you want your support to be delivered.

For more information on the training, support and information currently available please follow become a personal assistant where you will find details on a wide range of training opportunities for Personal Assistants, from sessions that will give you an overall view of working from a person-centred approach, to specific training around specific impairments, and also upcoming events and information that may be of interest.
