Digital Communities Wales is delighted to let you know about a free online Inspiring Digital event that we are running for Care Home Activity Coordinators, and anyone working with older people on Thursday 7th March from 2.00 p.m. – 4.00 p.m.
There are so many wellbeing benefits of digital for care home residents. Digital Communities Wales are the experts in helping care staff to develop the skills and confidence to have fun with digital. This FREE session for Activity Coordinators, and anyone working with older people, will introduce you to some of the wonderful things you can do online to benefit the lives of those you care for.

You don’t need to be a digital expert - this session is for everyone, including digital beginners.

The Box
The Box is a free e-learning tool designed for professionals working in the justice sector. It is designed to give professionals in the justice system the ability to identify communication issues and the skills to work successfully with individuals who have such issues. However, this is an excellent awareness raising e-learning more generally for those that sit outside the justice sector.
Mind Your Words
Mind Your Words (children and young people’s mental health) is a free e-learning tool designed for professionals working with children and young people. The tool aims to improve understanding of children and young people who have both mental health needs (or social emotional and mental health needs – SEMH) and speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).
