We have a brand new e-learning course, Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults - the Toolkit, brought to you by Learning Pool in conjunction with Assess for Care.

Accredited by the Open College Network (OCNSER) and endorsed by The Social Care Association, it's designed for 3 responsibility levels: care and health workers, local authority practitioners and managers.

We're hosting two launch events in September, one in Manchester and one in London, to showcase the course. Our speakers include Nick Johnson, CEO, Social Care Association and David Gittens, Director, Open College Network.

Join in our current conversations on topics such as PDP's for elected members, corporate induction, useful links and Criminal Records Bureau checks.

Or, if none of these interest you today, start your own conversation with fellow Learning Pool subscribers.

At its simplest a Learning Management System tracks performance improvement - it's a piece of software that allows you to evidence learning.

Modern Governor is a new service from Learning Pool. It is designed to help local authority school governors develop their skills through e-learning.

There are 7 modules in the Modern Governor programme containing 18 topics. The courses have been produced with the help of experts from the Education and Local Government sector and include examples, case studies and scenarios specifically relevant for today's busy Governors.

Released on a rolling schedule, the courses will remain permanently available so that governors can revisit the material as often as they wish.
