Study Academy

Study Academy is everything you’ll need for practical staff training and development. We are an experienced digital training provider covering finance & compliance, personal growth, health & safety, business skills, and health & social care. Our team delivers lessons specially tailored to your business on a personalised platform. We’ll work closely alongside you to advise suitable topics and design online training to help staff on the job. WHY WORK WITH STUDY ACADEMY? There are countless benefits to moving your training in-house. Working with an independent training body means an expensive cost since you’ll need to book refresher sessions and trainers for new staff.  Designing and developing a digital learning platform removes that pressure. All learning required from your employees is provided in one place, where you have complete control. Study Academy dedicates time and effort to understanding your business mission and ensuring that your staff learning reflects your values. You’ll no longer have to suffer stale courses with outdated scenarios. Any first aid support or business management lessons will directly consider the needs of your business. STAFF TRAINING WITH STUDY ACADEMY Our staff training solutions are second to none. We can support transitions into management, fire safety training, food handling legalities and much more. Running a business is no easy feat, and having one platform to equip all staff members provides some unity. You’ll be able to monitor who has completed which lessons, as well as when annual training needs updating. First aid, for example, is not a one time course. Staff training must be completed constantly and consistently, so an easily accessible digital platform is convenient. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE TRAINING WITH STUDY ACADEMY Regulatory compliance training is arguably the most critical for your organisation. Sessions from Study Academy ensure that employees understand the laws, regulations and policies that govern your business. Compliance lessons can cover data handling, financial law and fraud awareness. We are a digital training provider that aims to introduce the law to your staff, help them understand why the rules are in place and why they’re vital to follow. The consequences of improper training are devastating. ONBOARDING AND INDUCTION TRAINING WITH STUDY ACADEMY New members of staff have no concept of what your business values. Perhaps they have experience or qualifications in your sector, but that isn’t enough to effectively represent your business. A personalised digital training platform with Study Academy can help you and train staff in your brand voice and guidelines. With a consistent welcome session, every new employee will understand your organisation from the same level, so your team will present themselves consistently.

British Society of Gerontology

The British Society of Gerontology was established in 1971. It provides a multidisciplinary forum for researchers and other individuals interested in the situations of older people, and in how knowledge about ageing and later life can be enhanced and improved. Until 1979, the Society was known as the British Society of Social and Behavioural Gerontology. BSG is a registered charitable company (Charity number: 264385) and is the professional organisation representing gerontologists in Britain. The Society was elected as a member of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG) in 1987, and is affiliated to many other organisations in the UK and abroad. As a learned society, our aim is to advance gerontological research, education, theory and practice. We are active in raising the profile of ageing and in drawing attention to its social, economic and policy implications. To this end, we are working to a five year (2015-2020) strategy entitled ‘Raising the Profile of Ageing Research in a Changing World‘. This aims to position the BSG as a world leader in the development of ageing research. To accomplish this aim, BSG brings together researchers, practitioners, educators, policy-makers, students and older people. Our members have varied backgrounds and come from: the social and behavioural sciences; humanities; medicine; health; housing; social care; nursing; policy arenas and voluntary agencies. BSG has Memorandums of Understanding with both AgeUK and the ILC-UK. For more information on either of these, please contact the Secretariat. The society is also in the process of updating a formal agreement with CPU in collaboration with CPA in relation to the publication of Ageing and Society. The Society holds an annual conference (either in July or September) organised and hosted by members from different Centres and Institutions around the country. The annual conference attracts international delegates as well as domestic participants and is a prime opportunity to meet and network with like-minded colleagues. The Society publishes a regular journal – Generations Review; was instrumental in the establishment of Ageing and Society – one of the premier peer-reviewed journals in the field; and is responsible for a range of other publications including a Directory of Members’ interests and ‘Making the Case for the Social Sciences: No 2, Ageing’. The work of the BSG is overseen by an elected Executive Committee assisted by a part-time Secretariat. In addition to the annual conference, the Society supports a variety of other events and activities. In particular, we have an active group for postgraduate students and early career researchers – ERA; make bursaries available to support conference attendance; and award prizes and funds to recognise the contributions of members.
