Dusty Yak Welfare Training
It is evident that the majority of Society Managers / Staff had received no formal training in Nepal. The team visited private child care homes in the UK and developed a bespoke Internationally Accredited Welfare Officer's course. The Course is Level 2 and includes:
- Security - Basic understanding of the risks to children's security.
- Basic Health and Safety - Educating on the daily challenges of child care where the sub standard health and safety in Nepal is reflective of a developing country.
- Hygiene - Implementing good practice of personal hygiene in an environment where the basic resources are limited.
- First Aid - To treat children’s ailments including cuts, bruises, burns, breaks, bleeding, choking and CPR.
The course will ensure that all orphans can develop in a safe, secure environment.
The mission is to deliver training to all children's home staff in Nepal.
