Nowadays not only do we rely on our commercial and sales staff to hit that bottom line but we expect our engineers and project teams to play their part too - not only through their engineering and management skills but by behaving in a commercially minded way in their dealings with their counterparts in customer or supplier organisations. This means understanding, amongst other things, the issues surrounding the commencement of work ahead of contract, having a clear contract baseline, recognising the broader implications of contract change, the need for timeliness and the consequences of failing to meet the contracted timetable. This practical one-day programme has been designed specifically to give engineers, project staff and others just that understanding. The course is designed principally to provide engineers and project staff with an appreciation of contractual obligations, liabilities, rights and remedies so that they understand the implications of their actions. It is also suitable for business development staff who are negotiating contracts on behalf of the business. The main focus of the day is on creating an awareness of when a situation may have commercial implications that would harm an organisation's business interests if not recognised and handled appropriately and how taking a positive but more commercial approach to those situations can lead to a more positive outcome for the business. As well as providing an understanding of the commercial imperatives the day also focuses on specific areas affecting engineers and project staff, such as the recognition and management of change, the risks when working outside the contract and managing delays in contracts. The course identifies the different remedies that may apply according to the reasons for the delay and provides some thoughts on pushing back should such situations arise. On completion of this programme the participants will: appreciate the need for contractual controls and will have a better understanding of their relevance and how they can be applied, particularly the issues of starting work ahead of contract, implementing changes and inadvertently creating a binding contract by their behaviour; have gained an understanding of the terminology and procedural issues pertaining to contracting within a programme; and be more commercially aware and better equipped for their roles. 1 Basic contract law - bidding and contract formation Purpose of a contract Contract formation - the key elements required to create a legally binding agreement Completeness and enforceability Express and implied terms Conditions v warranties The use of, and issues arising from, standard forms of sale and purchase Use of 'subject to contract' Letters of intent Authority to commit 2 Change management Recognising changes to a contracted requirement Pricing change Implementation and management of change 3 Key contracting terms and conditions By the end of this module participants will be able to identify the key principles associated with: Pricing Getting paid and retaining payment Cashflow Delivery and acceptance Programme delaysExamining some reasons for non-performance...Customer failureContractor's failureNo fault delays ... and the consequences of non-performance: Damages claimsLiquidated damagesForce majeureContinued performance Waiver clauses and recent case law Use of best/reasonable endeavours Contract termination 4 Warranties, indemnities and liability Express and implied warranties Limiting liability 5 Protection of information Forms of intellectual property Background/foreground intellectual property Marking intellectual property Intellectual property rights Copyright Software Confidentiality agreements Internet

– the practical steps you need to know This live online suicide intervention training covers a wealth of essential information and strategies to help you help anyone you suspect may be thinking about or planning suicide, or who has survived a previous attempt… Accredited CPD Certificate: 6 hours Length: 1 day (9.15am - 4.00pm GMT) You never know when you may need these skills… Brilliant! I’ve been on previous suicide intervention courses over the years, but this is by far the best – great pace, very knowledgeable trainer...who brings real experience into the learning...SUE HASWELL Join Malcolm Hanson LIVE ONLINE on Tuesday 12th March for his essential suicide intervention training, delivered via Zoom. Book your place and we’ll send you the Zoom link the day before the event. BONUS Recording – the training is recorded, in case anyone experiences technical difficulties, so you also get a recording for a limited time afterwards to maximise your learning. Why take this suicide prevention course Suicide can be a difficult subject to broach and a daunting one to deal with – anyone working with distressed or depressed people wants to keep them safe, to give them the hope they need that circumstances can change for the better, and to provide the skills for coping until that comes about. When people can’t envisage an end to their difficulties, particularly in highly challenging times, a slump into depression can all too quickly spiral down into suicidal thoughts, plans and suicide attempts. The negative trance state of depression itself can beguile people into thinking that there is no other way out of their hopelessness. Thankfully, there is much we can do to help – as this indepth suicide intervention course shows. Tutor Malcolm Hanson has a wealth of experience at helping seriously distressed people get through difficulties which he draws upon as he takes you clearly through the steps to take when faced with anyone who feels suicidal. (He worked for 9 years as a psychotherapist in NHS primary care in an area of extreme deprivation, and for many more years since has seen patients referred by GPs, social workers, psychiatrists, police and probation officers for complex issues.) He has successfully helped clients experiencing multiple trauma (including veterans), chronic pain and terminal illness, clients struggling with uncertain asylum status or facing deportation, and also victims of human trafficking – a tragic range of circumstances in which even the most resilient may sometimes sink into despair. His compassion and understanding shine through this course as he shares with you what he has learnt, along with the latest psychiatric research and risk assessment strategies, to give you the knowledge and assurance you need to work confidently and respectfully with clients struggling to find reasons to stay alive. You will learn how to build in expectation of positive change from the start, have plenty of time to benefit from group discussions and will work through case scenarios with other attendees to help embed your learning. Suicide affects countless people, not only those directly involved, and is now the most common cause of death in men aged 17 to 34. The highest suicide rate is in men aged 45–49; in women, it is highest in those aged between 50–54.1 Join us for this practical online suicide prevention training to learn how you can help reverse this state of affairs… Book your place So much helpful and insightful information delivered in a way that was easy to listen to and take on board...STEVEN TESSEYMAN What will you learn Deeper insight into when and why different people consider suicide Crucial elements needed to build rapport with suicidal people Why most suicidal crises are surprisingly temporary How to normalise circumstances safely A model for running therapeutic sessions that best manages suicide risk Ways to use your own demeanour to instil confidence in the person who is feeling suicidal Effective information gathering to challenge unhelpful beliefs What to look for in their answers to your questions How to broach the subject of suicidal thoughts A structure for difficult conversations The ability to reframe unhelpful beliefs Methods of risk assessment that do not risk losing rapport Advances in psychiatric research on suicide risk management and the implications of this for psychotherapy and counselling How to use language of influence Effective means to address beliefs about being a burden How to set realistic and empowering goals How to make best use of the client’s own resources The importance of addressing emotional needs How to create a safety plan Strategies for client safe self-management between sessions The power of guided imagery for working with suicidal clients Powerful insights and hope from real case histories How to take care of yourself – and more… Malcolm is a wonderful communicator: so clear, measured and thoughtful ... it was a pleasure and privilege to learn from himMATTHEW HOPKINS Course Programme The ‘How To Reduce Suicide Risk’ live online course starts at 9.15am and runs until 4.00pm. 9.15am Join the Zoom meeting 9.30am The important first steps for suicide risk management 11.00am Comfort break and discussion 11.30am Working with what the client brings 1.00pm Lunch break 1.45pm Rehearsing the safety plan 2.45pm Comfort break and discussion 3.00pm Putting what you have learned into practice 4.00pm Day ends Who is this suicide awareness and prevention course for?

Dispelling several myths, this informative live online event explains why anyone can experience problems around food, the impact of eating difficulties, symptoms to look out for, the importance of early intervention, how best to help and support – and more… CPD Certificate: 4 hours Length: 9.15am – 1.30pm Increasing numbers of people have difficulties around food and eating, but miss out on help because they don’t have a clinical diagnosis – this online training event is designed to increase awareness of the importance of early intervention to provide better support and help with recovery. Time is of the essence - early support is important An estimated 1.25 million people are affected by eating disorders in the UK – but there are many, many more who may not meet diagnostic criteria or simply don’t get the help they need. Absolutely anyone can be affected by eating difficulties; all ages, all body sizes, all genders, all races, and disordered eating can take many forms. It sits on a spectrum between what might be considered ‘normal eating’ and an eating disorder and may include symptoms and behaviours of eating disorders, but at a lesser frequency or lower level of severity. Eating difficulties don’t just affect the person involved but also their families and friends too, who often feel frightened, confused, and powerless to help. The aim of this live, evidence-based, online training with Jo Baker, a highly experienced psychotherapist, is to give you a greater understanding of eating difficulties as well as eating disorders and body image. You’ll explore the signs and symptoms, and the effects they have on an individual as well as developing new skills around effective communication with someone who is struggling. It will dispel some of the myths around eating difficulties and also help you find ways of calming yourself in moments of overwhelm to ensure you can be as supportive and helpful as you’d like to be… This course is relevant to a range of disordered eating behaviours including: restrictive eating compulsive eating irregular eating inflexible eating avoiding a type of food or food group self-induced vomiting laxative, diuretic, enema misuse supplement misuse clinical eating disorders BONUS RECORDING – you will also get a recording for 2 weeks after the event to maximise your learning.
