    The Facilitation course equips instructors with the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to deliver the Child Protection Recognition and Response (CPRR), Acute Psychiatric Emergencies (APEx) and the Children and Young People: Acute Psychiatric and Psychosocial Emergencies courses.

    The Facilitation course is delivered in two formats, online and in-person. The online format is primarily designed for the CPRR course, while the in-person delivery focuses on the APEx and CYP APRx courses, and incorporates the use of actors to support candidate debriefing. 

    The programme specifically addresses approaches that are appropriate to the complexity, and specific nature of the courses.
     

    The GIC provides opportunities to learn about and practise facilitation skills. The course includes keynote sessions, demonstrations, practice sessions, debriefs and discussions. The following modalities are covered:

    • Lecturing
    • Teaching and assessing skills
    • Debriefing
    • Running workshops
    • Teaching and assessing simulations

    The GIC comprises of a manual, an e-module in advance of the course, followed by two face-to-face days of practice. This leads to teaching on life support courses with a mentor and reflective practice, before becoming a full instructor.
