Are you a parent or family member providing care for a child with a life-threatening or life-limiting condition?
Do you deliver or support children’s palliative care services for the under 25s?
Do you want to learn new skills to help support children and young people – but can’t afford the training?
National children’s palliative care charity ACT (Association for Children’s Palliative Care) has launched a new training grants programme to help families, carers and professionals working in the field to help enhance their skills, knowledge and competencies.
The ACT Children’s Palliative Care Training Grant Programme, funded by The True Colours Trust, aims to help support best practice and specialist knowledge in caring for children with life-limiting conditions by providing small one-off grants of up to £250 to individuals and agencies who wouldn’t otherwise be able to access specialist training. We will also pay a maximum of £50 towards your travel for attending the event.
ACT will consider grant applications for training, events, conferences and seminars that meet the following criteria:
For professionals: Training that will help to share best practice and to enhance the knowledge, skills and competencies of those working in children’s palliative care. The training should also meet one or more of the standards of support and care outlined in the ACT Charter for Life-limited Children and their Families. See: http://www.act.org.uk/content/view/37/138/
For parents, carers and close family members: We also want to fund training, conferences or events that will provide families with information or support that will help their child/children, increase their skills and confidence in caring for a child, or support their wider family.
