Although we have already resettled three families there is always much for us to learn and new ideas for us to consider. We found the whole session stimulating and even had the energy to chat briefly afterwards!

This training will equip your group with the confidence it needs to make final preparations before the family is welcomed into the community.
After being approved by the Home Office to welcome a family, Community Sponsorship groups need to attend this training. Empowerment, boundaries and cultural differences are topics that need to be considered as a group to ensure the family can thrive in the community and become independent.
How will this course work
The course will be delivered via Zoom and will last 2.5 hours.
Who is this course for?
This training will be especially for your group members. It is best to have as many group members attend as possible so that the discussions are rich and meaningful and any doubts or queries can be raised. If you know the details about the family you are welcoming, the trainer will be able to adapt the training to make it even more relevant. Learning from other groups will be shared too, as well as insights that might be useful for the makeup of the family that you are welcoming.

Why is Reset a leader in this field
This training has been developed by Reset on behalf of the Home Office to ensure that Community Sponsorship groups are fully prepared to welcome a family.
Who will deliver this course
One of our Programmes Team will deliver the training. They support Community Sponsorship groups from the start until the end of their journey. They have a deep understanding of what groups need to do to prepare themselves to welcome a family.
Very useful to stimulate discussion within the group about issues they may have assumed we all agreed on or took as granted and, in particular, expectations and boundaries being really well thought through and agreed before the arrival of the family.
