Cats Protection

VCP at Home

The VCP at Home programme supports a mix of Cats Protection staff and volunteers responsible for the management of their volunteers. Participants come from a wide range of backgrounds, expertise, knowledge and experience and the programme had to reflect and meet these needs.

After an initial review of their face-to-face programme, we put forward a design for the new blended approach. We then worked with the project team to identify the goal of each section and the best approach to reach this goal. This focused time together allowed the subject experts to develop source materials specifically for the agreed design, essential when building a programme of this size and complexity.

The modules we developed include a range of treatments. This includes the use of a toolkit the learner developed throughout the programme, context-specific scenarios and exercises to allow them to apply their new knowledge.

Topics in the programme include:

•    Volunteering and the law
•    Recruitment planning
•    Attracting the right volunteer
•    Volunteer inductions
•    Managing risk
•    Managing change
•    Conflict and problem solving

We are always interested in working with people who share our values and passion for fun and imaginative learning solutions.

National Organisation for FASD

My Brain, Me and FASD

2020 may have been a difficult year but that only made the highlights sweeter. One of those highlights for us was the opportunity to work with the charity, The National Organisation for FASD, to develop an interactive journey for children who have Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).

This module was based on a printed document the client had produced and was designed not only to bring this to life but specifically for the needs of the children using it.

For a more detailed overview and a video of the module being used, you can check out our blog here! Or if you would like to have a go yourself, you can visit the module on the FASD website here!

National Autistic Society

Women and girls on the autism spectrum

Winner of the Training Journal Awards 2019 not-for-profit programme of the year, this ground-breaking module supports clinicians involved in the diagnosis of autism, as well as members of the public who have been diagnosed, are seeking diagnosis or have a loved one in that position.

We began the project with a content workshop with the National Autistic Society online training team and used Cathy Moore’s Action Mapping process to identify the goal of the module which allowed us to focus on the best approach for the design.

The resulting module includes numerous opportunities for learners to practice their diagnostic skills and learn practical things they can use when working with women and girls during the diagnostic process.

The other key requirement was the need to present clinicians with the moving personal experiences of women and girls. This would ensure that they understood the diversity of the different characteristics of autism, so a correct diagnosis could be made and missed diagnosis avoided. To support this, we used a range of quotes, video testimonials and case studies.

The module was initially hosted on the National Autistic Society’s online learning portal at no cost for the first year. It then became part of their resale offering.

More information about the impact of this module is available in this short video.
