A WECR training session in progress

Training.

Professional training drawn from nearly 40 years of regional home-adaptation delivery. For care home staff, occupational therapists, housing officers, and front-line teams who work with older and disabled people in their own homes.

WECR training programme delivery

Practical training, taught by people who do the work.

Most adaptation training comes from people who specify equipment but have never installed it, or from clinical teams who don't see what happens after the OT report lands. We sit in the middle of that — between specification and delivery, between healthcare and housing, between policy and the kitchen floor.

That's the perspective we bring to training. Practical, plain-language, and grounded in what actually happens in real homes. We deliver in-house and at partner sites across the South West.

Courses range from short awareness sessions to longer practitioner-level modules. [TBC: confirm the active course list, accreditation status, and pricing model.]
