The Care Training Consortium (CTC) is an organisation set up to support independent (Private and Voluntary) care providers in West Sussex access information, funding and quality training and development opportunities. The are currently looking for nominations for the CTC Accolades 2009.

The Chair’s Award for Endeavour is for an individual who through own efforts has overcome personal difficulties to not only continue with their learning but to successfully achieve, attaining high standards in the process. I have nominated Emma for this award to recognise her hard work, support and dedication.

Since I have been at Valerie Manor Emma has always been extremely keen to learn and is very dedicated and enthusiastic. Emma completed her NVQ level II in medication handling and administration with the support of myself and other staff although she found the theoretical knowledge quite challenging. Despite this Emma battled on and passed the course. After getting the desire to continue with her education Emma enrolled to undertake her NVQ level II in Health and Social Care. It was at this time that the trainers discovered that Emma was dyslexic and put the appropriate support in place for her. To date Emma is doing extremely well and with her new found knowledge and skills she is now always my first choice for on call, knowing that she will deal with any kind of an emergency with professionalism and expertise.  

Good Luck Emma!

The Accolades ceremony is on the 3rd December, 2009
