What Type Of Training Do You Require?
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an internationally recognised training course which, teaches people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis.
MHFA England training won’t teach you to be a therapist, but just like physical first aid, it will teach you to listen, reassure and respond, even in a crisis.
Adult MHFA England courses are for everyone aged 16 upwards. The Instructor Training programme is accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health, and is developed to keep people safe and supported while they learn and requires an MHFA Instructor badge to train it.

Drug And Alcohol Training in The Workplace
The Importance of Drugs Testing
Many organisations understand the value of implementing substance misuse testing as an integral part of their Health and Safety policy, coupled with a duty of care to their employees.
Therefore, managing the risks associated with workplace drug and alcohol misuse protects colleagues, any members of the public and the individual.
Types of Testing
Regular Testing
These tests take place on a regular basis, typically monthly or bi-monthly, and provide on-going assurance that your workforce are drug free. This type of testing provides the most assurance – if all employees are tested regularly, the likelihood of drug use going unnoticed is extremely small.
Random Testing
These tests take place unannounced, which makes them harder to avoid for staff who are considering abusing drugs or alcohol. Random testing acts as a deterrent to potential drug users, but does not provide the concrete assurance of regular testing.
‘With Cause’ Testing
If you have reason to believe that an employee may be abusing drugs or alcohol, you can request a test for that specific staff member. Similarly if you think there is a problem department, all staff in that department could be tested. We can also help you prepare training and educational materials.
