- Enable people to identify problems as they arise and explore how these might be managed, outlining the sort of options available and how to access them
- Keep timely, accurate and relevant records in accordance with PSPA’s guidelines

Training and Support
We offer a comprehensive learning package that can be completed in your own time and covers all aspects of the role.
Where possible, a visit to our offices in Milton Keynes as a final training day completes the process. This will also be an opportunity for you to meet and get to know members of staff and increase your own knowledge and understanding of PSP & CBD and the wider work of PSPA.
Ongoing staff support will also be provided.
