Date: 2nd and 9th February 2021 (both dates must be attended)

Time: 9.30am – 12.30pm both days

Course Overview:

Good telephone advice skills are important under normal circumstances, but when working remotely and social distancing means you cannot easily support clients face-to-face, then they are vital. This course is ideal for front-line staff wanting to gain more confidence with their telephone skills and exploring how they can better support clients.

What we’ll cover:

• The advice process – how to structure a phone call and why this is important in advice work
• Skills that we use – questioning, listening etc.
• Exercises and role play that focus on the above
• Understanding the barriers that clients may face and what we can do to assist with these
• A little on difficult situations that may be encountered and how to deal with them

There will also be some (manageable!) pre-work emailed out 1 week before the session, which will get you ready to engage with the course and consider some areas for discussion during the session.
