Professionals across West Lothian are being invited to take part in the latest Advice Network Training Programme, designed to build knowledge, confidence and awareness around a wide range of advice and support topics.
The programme supports staff and volunteers whose roles involve helping individuals access information, guidance and services. By strengthening understanding across the network, the training aims to improve the quality and consistency of support available to local people.
Organisations are also encouraged to get involved. Any service that would like to deliver training or provide an overview session for the network is welcome to make contact to discuss opportunities.
