Well, it’s been a month since I last wrote – and what a month! We had our second visit from the OCN Quality Reviewer mid-July. Having made the changes she had recommended on her previous visit, she was very pleased with our progress and the visit was a success. Today 14 certificates from the OCN have arrived on my desk to be distributed to learners who have recently completed OCN modules successfully.
We’ve also recently been successful in a bid for some funding from Southampton City Council to work with service-users to create a website for the Council all about their Supporting People services. This is a very exciting new project, and since returning from a recent holiday I’ve been busily planning the first stages of delivery to start in October.
On another note, we’ve recently recruited a new intake of trainees on work-placement programmes. This is going very well, and our workshop and warehouse are looking all the better for the work that is being put in. The trainees seem to be enjoying their placements so far, and I can see the progress being made already.
Let’s hope the next month continues along the same lines!
