Managerial training covers the big-picture issues:

• Definitions of sexuality and its many forms with real examples.
• Mandates and responsibilities for Managers, Chief Executive Officers and Directors of Nursing.
• Considerations of approaches to sexuality issues.
• Policy and procedure recommendations in regard to sexuality issues.
• Future considerations on sexuality for the residential care workplace and residents’ needs.
• Legal issues, liability issues, media concerns, duty of care issues, and grey area issues re sexuality.
• Dealing with Quality & Compliance & Accreditation in regard to sexuality and sexual abuse incidents.

Staff training includes the following:

• Definitions of sexuality issues with real-life examples from residential care settings here in Australia.
• Considerations of the legal definitions and mandates of consent in the criminal law.
• Examples and case studies of sexuality within residential care facilities for review.
• Reporting mechanisms under the Protection Bill 2007 - when to report, how to report, grey areas in reporting on sexual abuse incidents.
• Future considerations on sexuality for the residential care workplace and the changing workplace for staff as well as residents.

Training considerations:

• Sessions for residential care staff are usually in 2-hour increments to cater to your staffing schedules and availability.
• Managerial sessions are done in 1-hour training blocks.
• As long as your venue can hold the attendees, there are no mximum limits on attendees.
• Handouts are given to all attendees.
• Professional Development Points are applicable.
• My requirements as a trainer are simple:  a whiteboard and DVD player.
• My training to staff and managers is very interactive, composed of real stories, not boring dot-point lectures.   I use media reports and actual incidents.
• Please refer to my biography for information on my background and credentials.   I have trained community care, acute care, residential care staff and managers throughout Australia since 2001 as well as specialised groups like solicitors, law enforcement, pastoral care, counsellors, volunteers, etc.
• Training is offered Australia-wide.

Costs involved:

• 2-hour staff training session = $990 (not inl. GST).
• 1-hour managerial session = $550 (not incl. GST).
• As a part of your training package, I can also review your policy on elder abuse to make sure it is up to date and comprehensive.   This is at no charge to the facility.
• I also offer as a part of the training package to the management the ability to consult with me on sexuality related cases on a 24-hour basis.   This is at no charge to the facility.
• I always work with the management and am as flexible as possible with costs and additional considerations.
