Wide-ranging agenda for CARBS volunteer advisers.
At Citizens Advice training our volunteers is high priority. Keeping them up to speed is great for them, great for our clients and great for the community we serve.
During the year they take online programmes and attend regular events with speakers from many specialist organisations.
Above all, District Training Day is their annual focus on big issues of the moment.
This year’s event on 27 November lived up to its billing. On the agenda: safeguarding vulnerable adults; debt advice; recording keeping; health and employment issues. Many thanks to Healthwatch Surrey and the Citizens Advice expert employment team for their excellent contributions.
Right now, the growth in self-employment is raising many questions and problems. So Training Day 2017 was ideal for publication of Better Self-Employment, researched by our employment group and written by Banstead volunteer John Dougill.
