Wrexham Adults
Welcome to Wrexham’s page for learning quality resources
The creation of a bespoke Community Care Inform Page, alongside a strong Workforce Development Training Programme, is an investment in you as a valued member of the Wrexham Team.
The resources available here will help you to achieve good outcomes for children, young people, adults and families that you work with, by supporting you to practice in an evidenced based way. Accessing these resources is simple and straightforward and will enable you to use your time effectively and provide a good quality service, all as part of your learning and workforce development journey that we offer in Wrexham.
We’ve selected a range of resources to fit with your individual’s team’s current focuses for learning. To explore the resources that relate to your team, please click on your team name below to view your own range of topics.
As a Department, we value and encourage open communication and feedback. Any suggestions on how your pages can be improved or on areas which require practice development can be sent to scpractice@wrexham.gov.uk
