If you have something specific in mind that you don’t see, they may be able to create a session to suit so please just ask.
Timings & Delivery
Sessions can be run over any amount of time to suit you, although usually a minimum of around an hour. They can be run face to face at your venue or as online sessions over Teams or Zoom.
Teaching usually takes place during term-times, but sessions outside of term-times could also be arranged – let them know if this is what you require.
Requirements
The ‘Wellbeing in the Workplace’ offer is completely free of charge – the only criteria, due to funding, is that all our learners are aged 19 or over and live in Lancashire, so if you have staff living outside of Lancashire then do please get in touch to discuss this.
They ask for a minimum of 8 learners on a session and can manage any maximum with enough notice. It is important to ensure you can reach the minimum number of learners before you book a session please as LAL are unable to fill courses cancelled at the last minute due to low numbers and it also leaves teachers under-utilised. LAL are happy to ‘trial’ a session with you first though to see how staff recruit, before planning a full programme of activity.
LAL must enrol learners to their college for any session, as would happen at any adult college. The information is not shared with anyone but is used for funding purposes and Ofsted. Once the enrolment is completed staff can then enjoy any other available courses advertised on the LAL website and their details will pre-fill, so they won’t need to fill in their details again. Ideally. LAL would send you an enrolment link and you would ask staff to enrol before the event. If this is not possible they are able to bring down paper enrolment forms to be completed on the day, but would need to allow time to complete these before the session starts.
For any new venue they teach from they are required to have a new venue audit completed, so for delivering face to face sessions in your workplace, they will need you to complete the new venue form before any new course can be set up.
