We are pleased to present two new and completely free training courses. These have been developed with support from the IHC Foundation.
The aim of the Disability and Continence courses is to give you practical knowledge and tools for supporting people with additional needs to achieve their best level of continence and improve their overall quality of life. There are two courses - one for schools (e.g., teachers, teacher aides, learning support workers) and one for disability support services (e.g., residential staff, home support staff) - but the content may be useful for anyone supporting people with additional physical, sensory, developmental, learning, and/or behavioural needs.
Finding a toilet when out and about can be a challenge for people with bladder or bowel problems. It could even discourage some people from going out altogether. Our Toilet Card clearly states that the holder has a medical condition and needs to use a toilet quickly. Most places you visit will be willing to help you.
