Fuel Poverty and Energy Saving - FREE training for frontline practitioners
Event Information
About this Event
This event is being held using MICROSOFT TEAMS and is particularly suitable for those working in the COVENTRY area.
We are delighted that we will once again be able to offer FREE training on Energy advice and support for all front line staff who work directly with vulnerable residents. Training is open to all front line council, voluntary sector and NHS staff. Following the training you will be able to:
• Be aware of the impact of COVID 19 on Fuel Poverty
• Know what grants are available via the Green Homes Grant (GHG)scheme
• Support people in practical ways to save energy and money
• Know what support/grants are available locally
• What the LADs scheme is and if applicable what schemes are running in your area
• Identify the causes of fuel poverty and know how this can affect people
• Spot the signs of fuel poverty
All the sessions are similar but depending on which area you select this will be tailored to the grants/schemes in that area.
By accessing the training you are committing to complete an evaluation form which will be sent to you by email (your email address will be used for this purpose and to inform you of future training dates). All the training is online saving time and money in travelling and we hope you will be able to join us for an informative session. Training delivered last year was highly thought of and a couple of quotes include:
- I have a much better understanding of Fuel Poverty and how it can impact people’s health and wellbeing
- I am much more confident in giving Energy Advice and who to signpost people to
