Course Description:

Anyone in a position of managing or leading others will benefit from the message delivered by these managing performance training. 

This training set out to help you to manage the performance of your workforce through common sense techniques that focus on the effective use of communication and goal setting to improve productivity and increase morale and motivation. 

The session will steer away from the procedural, form-filling approach to performance management/appraisals and instead focus on the skills required to effectively cooperate with team members, develop their skills and ensure they feel incentivised to succeed. With the techniques outlined in this training course you will feel empowered to enhance the performance of your team and begin to collaborate with them to improve their behaviors and ability in their role. 
Course Contents:
Managing Performance to Increase Productivity with our Quality Training

Management is ultimately about getting things done through others. Without a structured and clear approach to managing performance, where employees know what is expected of them and how they should approach their role, a manager is unable to effectively meet the level of productivity that is required. This will reflect badly on them and can impact on their own development. 

Therefore, managing performance can be one of the single most important things for a manager to get right. This requires a goal-focused, common-sense approach to working with employees that ensures they are motivated and focused on success.

These ‘Managing Performance’ training course materials will provide you with everything you need to develop the skills and build the confidence of your management audience.
 
Ultimately, the aim of these managing performance training course materials is to ensure you have the knowledge and skills to help you develop a team of high performing employees that are focused on success.
Course Topics:
The Importance of Managing Performance – Establishing the key elements to a managing performance approach, why this is important and the benefits it can have for a manager. 

Making Performance Management Work – Changing current perceptions to performance management and highlighting the key factors that will help make it a success for managers. 

Setting Goals – Identifying what makes goal setting work and how it underpins the entire managing performance process. Linking goal setting to record keeping to ensure effective processes.

Reasons for Poor Performance – Highlighting the underlying factors behind poor performance and individual mindsets. 

Helping Poor Performers – Focusing on behaviour and results – translating ‘attitude’ to observed behaviours and looking to create improvement opportunities. Activities that review specific workplace scenarios. 

Developing Average Performers – Knowing values and motivators, what drives performers and how to get the best out of their performance whilst still encouraging them. 

Guiding High Performers – Establishing boundaries, creating opportunities, giving feedback and knowing when to praise. 

Managing Conflict and Discipline – Resolving conflict issues and embracing the opportunity disagreement can provide. Looking at the key components of discipline and following a set structure for implementation. 

The ‘DESC’ Model – Provision of a communication model that assists participants with structuring conversations around performance issues.

Performance Conversations – A practical activity following theoretical set-up that allows participants to practice and review the skills of effective performance communication. 
Who can attend?
Anybody who is interested in learning Managing Skills can attend this training.
Course Feature:
At the end of this managing performance, you will be able to
Manage performance by setting clearly aligned goals that are documented 
Identify causes of poor performance whilst working with employees to improve and develop 
Recognise and communicate success, focusing on behaviour and result
Cooperate with employees in order to increase productivity, morale and motivation.

You don't have to be able to draw, so it's perfect for beginners as well as those who are new to using acrylic paints. And we think you'll be amazed at what you can achieve in one evening!
Suzanne offers a range of themes throughout the year, and you will be given a choice of 2 options to paint on the night. She'll also provide a brief background to the artist's work, and support throughout the evening to help you make the most of your time.

March - Anne Redpath
April - Mary Fedden
May - The Impressionists*
June - Sir John Lavery

On this one-day Introduction to silver clay jewellery making workshop - suitable for beginners or those that have attended our silver jewellery taster workshop and wish to develop their skills - you will create three different pieces of jewellery. &nbsp; Using silver clay, a material made up of recycled silver particles, an organic binder and water that can easily be used at home with little need for equipment, your expert tutor, Edinburgh-based jeweller Anna Campbell, will take you through all the steps needed to create your own pieces ready for firing. The dried clay is fired with a butane torch to form it into silver (at home a cr&egrave;me brul&eacute; torch will also do the job). The resulting pieces are silver of hallmark quality - modern-day alchemy! The projects you will make during this one-day workshop include a pair of earrings, a stone-set pendant and a moulded charm. You will learn how to make your own silicone mould to use with silver clay so if you have any small charms, shells, buttons and so on you would like to bring along to mould please do! If not, a selection will be provided for you to choose from.&nbsp; You will learn how to design, make and fire your own pieces and will go home with your lovely, truly hand made and unique creations to give as gifts or to keep for yourself!

Discover the art of silver clay: a one day beginner’s workshop with 3 creative projects.
Step into the world of jewellery making with this hands-on beginner-friendly workshop, where you’ll create three unique pieces of silver jewellery from scratch!
Over the course of this workshop day, you’ll explore the versatility of silver clay and handmake three stunning projects, each designed to teach you essential skills while sparking your creativity.
What is silver metal clay?
Silver clay is a material manufactured from 100% recycled silver, a plant-based organic binder and water. The silver is recycled from X-rays, the photographic industry, electronics, and the like. You don’t need a lot of tools and equipment to get started and all pieces made on this workshop can be fired with a creme brule torch.
Here’s what you’ll learn and create on this workshop:
Design and craft a pair of earrings (or pendant/charm). Start your journey by designing and crafting a personalized pair of earrings. Don’t have pierced ears? No problem! You can choose to make a beautiful pendant or a bracelet charm instead. Learn how to work with silver clay, texture and shape your pieces and what is possible with this material. 
Make your own custom silicone mould and silver clay charm. Discover the magic of mould-making as you create your very own silicone mould from any object of your choice. You can bring small items of your own e.g. buttons, charms, shells etc or choose from the large selection we have for you! You’ll then use this mould to create a unique silver clay charm, adding a truly personal touch to your jewellery. This technique opens up endless possibilities for future designs.
Craft a gorgeous stone-set pendant. Add a touch of elegance to your jewellery with a stone setting. In this project, you’ll design a stunning pendant and learn how to set a fireable gemstone into silver clay, adding a touch of colour to your design. You will also learn more about which gemstones can be set in silver clay. 
Throughout the workshop, you’ll be guided step-by-step by Anna Campbell, one of the leading metal clay teachers in the UK, making this a fun and accessible class for complete beginners. You’ll leave with three pieces of handmade jewellery, new skills, and a strong foundation in working with silver clay.
Whether you’re looking to try a new hobby, make gifts or you have an eye on starting a jewellery business, this class is the perfect introduction to the exciting world of silver clay jewellery.

Favourite feedback
We love to hear what you think about our workshops. Here's a favourite review for our Beginners Silver Clay Jewellery Class.
“I highly recommend this course, a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Lynn warmly welcomed everyone into her beautiful home, the venue for the course and provided refreshments for everyone as they arrived.

The course was very relaxed, well-presented and well-organised. Anna demonstrated how to make a variety of pieces and her instructions were clear and explicit. Questions were welcomed and answered clearly and succinctly.

I learned a great deal about Silver and Silver Clay and I am delighted with the jewellery I made.

I have already recommended and given details of the course to a friend.

I look forward to another course.” [Dorothy]

RQF level 1 Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health
Each year approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health condition and at least 1 in 6 employees experience common mental health problems in the workplace. Research has shown that work is the biggest cause of stress which can stop people performing at their best.

Mental health conditions are often hidden due to stigma and fear of discrimination and research has shown that a culture of fear and silence around mental health is costly to employers. The HSE guidance 'First aid needs assessment’ refers to mental health in the workplace.

This 4-hour qualification provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a range of mental health conditions, how to start a supportive conversation and when and how to signpost a person to seek appropriate professional help. Learners will know how to recognise and manage stress.

Learners will not diagnose or treat mental health conditions as this can only be carried out by healthcare professionals but will gain the knowledge to identify when a person may have a condition and know where they can go to get help.




Suitability - Who should attend?
Here are some examples of who may benefit from attending the RQF Level 1 Award in Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health:

Employees and workers: This course is relevant for individuals in any industry who may encounter colleagues or clients experiencing mental health difficulties. It can be particularly valuable for human resources personnel, line managers, supervisors, or team leaders responsible for the well-being of employees.
Teachers and educators: Professionals working in schools, colleges, or other educational institutions can benefit from this training to better understand and support the mental health needs of students.
Healthcare and social care workers: Individuals working in healthcare or social care settings, such as nurses, care assistants, support workers, or counsellors, can enhance their understanding of mental health issues and improve their ability to provide appropriate support.
Community and voluntary workers: People involved in community or voluntary organizations, including youth workers, social workers, volunteers, or community leaders, can gain valuable insights into mental health awareness and support.
Personal relationships and caregivers: The Level 1 training can also be beneficial for individuals who have personal relationships with someone experiencing mental health challenges. This may include family members, friends, or caregivers who want to enhance their understanding and offer appropriate assistance.

It is important to note that the Level 1 Award in Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health RQF is an introductory course and does not qualify participants to provide formal mental health interventions or therapy. However, it serves as a foundation for further training and can contribute to creating a more mentally healthy and supportive environment in various settings.




Outcome / Qualification etc.
Upon successful completion of the RQF Level 1 Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health course, participants can expect to achieve the following outcomes:

Increased Awareness and Understanding: Participants will develop a basic awareness and understanding of mental health and mental health issues. They will gain knowledge about common mental health conditions, their signs and symptoms, and the importance of mental health in overall well-being.
Recognition of Mental Health Signs: Participants will learn to recognize common signs of mental health issues in themselves and others. They will gain an understanding of the importance of early identification and intervention in promoting mental health and seeking appropriate support.
Reduced Stigma and Improved Attitudes: The course aims to challenge stigmas and stereotypes associated with mental health. Participants will develop a more empathetic and supportive attitude towards individuals experiencing mental health challenges, promoting a positive and inclusive environment.
Enhanced Communication Skills: Participants will learn basic communication skills for engaging with individuals experiencing mental health issues. They will gain an understanding of the importance of active listening, empathy, and non-judgmental communication in providing initial support.
Signposting and Seeking Help: Participants will be equipped with knowledge about available resources, services, and support networks for mental health. They will learn about signposting individuals to appropriate professional help and self-help resources.
Self-Care and Well-being Strategies: The course may provide participants with practical strategies for maintaining their own mental well-being. They may learn basic self-care techniques and stress management strategies to support their own mental health.
Certificate of Completion: Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate indicating their achievement of the RQF Level 1 Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health qualification.

It's important to note that the Level 1 course provides a basic introduction to mental health awareness and first aid. It is not intended to provide participants with the qualifications or skills to diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, it aims to promote mental health literacy, reduce stigma, and provide individuals with the knowledge to offer initial support and signposting to individuals in need.

The Level 1 course can serve as a foundation for further learning and progression in the field of mental health. Individuals may choose to pursue higher-level courses or qualifications to develop more advanced skills and knowledge in mental health first aid or other related areas.
