Following on from Stage 1 and 2 we work through case studies, look at procedures and legislation, trauma and hear from someone who hoards.

Purpose:-Delivered over 3 sessions virtually, this Stage 3 hoarding awareness training is intended to apply the knowledge gained through working on case studies and practical examples to help those affected by hoarding behaviour, chronic disorganisation and extreme clutter.Looking at risk management, hoarding procedures, application of legislation and more deeply into trauma informed approaches, we will see how each hoarding case is unique and the support that can be provided will be bespoke to the challenges of an individual situation. You will hear from a person affected by hoarding behaviours and will have the opportunity to get firsthand insight into how hoarding affects someone.NB: You need to have completed Stage 1 and 2 training to attend, or evidence that you have knowledge of the content covered in Stage 1 and 2.
