Well it is with great relief that I write this post knowing that I've just collated all the information from our journal searches. The literature review so far, although brief is informative, which considering the lack of literature available is quite exciting. It has been rewarding sitting at the computer this morning just writing and summarising. The literature also validates all of our own opinions about providing training to direct support workers. we need to make sure they have the underpinning values and attitudes, then the skills and knowledge, then mindfulness training, and time to apply to the individual using person centred planning and then onsite support, mentoring and supervision. So it seems that there is no point doing any training if you are not doing all of this. Wow, this makes training an expensive exercise - not what the execs want to hear!
Oooh, I like this article about mindfulness.
