NHS Ransom Ware - Is your data safe

The latest Ransom Ware attack that has affected the NHS amongst many others illustrates just how easy it is for personal data to be put at risk.  Concrew Training offers workshops on Data Protection and Data Security to help managers and staff understand, look out for and minimise risks. The quality and value of our training is best evaluated by attending one of our open course programmes, for example the one on Data Protection and the GDPR.  more at https://concrew-training.co.uk/open-courses  

Funeral Director Clay Cross - High Quality - Low Cost Funerals

Gonetoosoon Clay Cross, is a family business run by my good friends Graham, Amy and Sue.  Their vision was to bring a modern forward thinking service to Clay Cross. one that maintained the traditional values of outstanding customer service, compassion and empathy with a bright modern look, outstanding value, clear prices and no hidden extras. The last point is far more important than you may think because "disbursements" can cost well over £1000 so a quote of £1000 plus disbursements probably means a final bill that is well in excess of £2000. It makes sense to shop around but make sure you call Graham or Amy on 01246 86 26 56 or check out their web site #funeral #funerals #death #rip #funeraldirector

Open Course - Teaching E-Safety through Social Media

Image
Price:  £299.00+vat per delegate Location: Birmingham City Centre Date: 28 June 2017 A one-day workshop that demonstrates a high effective way to teach online/e-safety using Social Media and consider how Social Media media can complement a broad range teaching strategies. Full Course Overview It explores how social media can be used to develop students’ research, communication and life skills whilst simultaneously raising their awareness of the potential risks posed by the internet and what to do if they encounter a possible problem. Historically many education providers tried to protect users by restricting or banning access to the internet but this approach can be breached too easily and it does little to prepare students for real world living. The internet and social media are increasingly integral to both business and private life and the modern student needs to understand what the risks are, how to identify, avoid and report them. The workshop shows teachers how

This one-day workshop explores the alternative sources of funding that are on offer to education providers and those who work with children and young people Open Course Diary HERE #education #schools colleges #FE #funding #grants #bids

Open Course - Education - Using Stretch and Challenge to Embed Deeper Learning

Image
Price:  £299.00+vat per delegate Location: Birmingham City Centre Date: 15 June 2017 A one-day workshop that explores the approaches and techniques that help teachers, tutors, trainers and learning support staff to use stretch and challenge to deliver deeper and more effective learning.  Full Course Overview The need to develop and foster a learning environment that supports both the individual and the group is far from easy. It requires practitioners to think about how they might differentiate sessions and deliver teaching, learning and support in a way that meets each learner’s individual needs and ensures all students are ‘stretched and challenged’ This highly participative course brings clarity to what needs to be done and how.  It begins by exploring current practice, identifying what effective ‘stretch & challenge’ looks like in the delegates’ teaching environments – classrooms, lecture theatres, workshops, tutorials  seminars etc.  It considers what is expec

Open Course - Using Social Media at Work - Rights Responsibilities - Policies Procedures

Image
Price:  £299.00+vat per delegate Location: Birmingham City Centre Date: 13 July 2017 A one-day workshop that explores good practice and effective policies for the use of social media at work. Full Course Overview The ever increasing number of tribunal cases revolving round staff’s use or abuse of social media at work means that all organisations and businesses need to ensure they have robust policies and procedures in place and that managers are properly trained in the staff rights and responsibilities when using social media at or in connection with work. Having a blanket ban on use is not a viable solution. Social media is a highly effective business marketing tool and placing a blanket ban on its use at work is never going to work. Managers and staff need to understand who, how, when, where and why they can use social media at work and what the guidelines policies and procedures they need to adhere to when doing so. This is especially important in the grey areas betw
