In difficult times with many agencies threatened with
budget cuts, it’s more important than ever to invest in a
well trained workforce able to face the challenges ahead.
With the updated DDN Training and Development Directory we have
tried to make it as easy as possible to find the right trainer for you.
Trainers are listed alphabetically with their websites, contact details and
the areas that they specialise in. All details have been checked by the
DDN team to make this update as accurate as possible.
We have also provided the opportunity for trainers to take out advanced
listings to better explain the services they offer, and display advertising
to fully promote their whole range of training. We are grateful to the
organisations that have taken up these options
–
without their support
we would be unable to fund the production of this free resource.
If you provide training in the substance misuse field and would like to
promote your services in DDN, please contact me for more information.
Kind regards,
Ian Ralph
