August 2010
In the last few months we have been very proud to partner with Angela Harrison Consulting to provide training and consultancy in the area of Business Continuity Management. ACH has a proven track record in this area of work, especially with local authorities, and we are excited to be able to offer this service to our clients.
We have also been very pleased to add Mears Group to our customer list (Mental Health Awareness) and also to provide a series of courses for Centrepoint (Managing Arrears, Legal Highs).
We have been delighted also to provide an increased range of training to some of our existing customers, most notably Richmond Fellowship (Communication Skills, Personality Disorders) and Inclusion (both Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy trained at Advanced level).
March 2010
These last months have seen us as busy as ever.
The topic of Legal Highs has been very prominent in the press, with mephedrone (m-cat or meow-meow) being linked to several deaths. After piloting sessions at LRF, Stonham and Cranstoun, we are now offering a stand-alone course on Legal Highs which looks to demythologise the subject, increase awareness, and look at the dangers to clients and challenges for organisations. Please click here for more information on Legal Highs.
Our work with Home on the first lot of pilot courses in their Supporting Clients Effectively series has now been completed. The Taking a Person Centred Approach courses have been very well received and it has been great to work alongside Home’s delivery trainers. The second set of modules is about to begin, with a third in the pipeline.
We have been very pleased to add Providence Row HA to our list of customers (Motivational Interviewing) and to further our work with Central & Cecil HT (Anti-Social Behaviour).

New Year, New Site
Obviously, the fact that you are reading this means that you are on our all-new website! It has been entirely redesigned and we hope that you like it. If you have any thoughts on how it can be still further improved please drop us an email.
New Clients
In the last few months we have been very pleased to add some new clients to our lists.
In the statutory sector we have been pleased to provide courses for staff of Oxford City Council (Drugs & Alcohol Awareness, Mental Health Awareness), and Inverclyde Council’s Community Drug Team (Personality Disorder, Complex Needs, CBT and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy).
In the voluntary sector, we have been delighted to facilitate courses for Watford New Hope Trust (Motivational Interviewing) and Avante (Homelessness Law & Practice, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy).
We have, of course, been busy with our established clients, and two particularly exciting pieces of work have started in this period.
Richmond Fellowship were pleased with the Motivational Interviewing course we did in the North of England and have now made MI part of their national core training programme. They have also now asked us to provide courses on Groupwork, and Improving Interactive Skills.
Home have asked MOSAIC to partner with them in designing and piloting an integrated series of training modules called Supporting Clients Effectively. At time of writing (January 2010) we are just about to start the series of pilot courses with the trainers Home have internally recruited.
New trainers
Expanding as we are, we are continually looking to add to our pool of trainers, both to provide increased capacity for our existing training and consultancy products, and to increase our range of offered services. Accordingly, we have been very pleased to welcome Stacey Raymen-Barker (with a background in Young People’s services, specialising in motivation and development) and Kevin Smith (who has a wealth of experience in Supporting People reviews, and in Coaching and Mentoring of staff). We hope that, as with our other training consultants, we have long, happy and fruitful relationships with them.
