We are proud of our commitment to ensuring our employees, regardless of their position, receive relevant training and support in order to best develop their working practice.

Over the last 4 years RCS has moved from its original training strategy which was based around the BILD approved CPI courses in MAPA (Management of Actual and Potential Aggression).
It became obvious early on that moving into more trauma based residential and respite care that we need more than just handling and de-escalation techniques.
After Lengthy discussions with our Clinical team and our compliance Director we have now opted for a trauma informed training regime, that, we think, works really well with the underlying functions of behaviour with the young people that we care for.
