Acquire knowledge and skills with social value training

Central Government has produced a wealth of resources covering the Act and these provide a great starting point. But it will always be a challenge to know exactly how to apply national legislation to tackle local issues.

Social Value Business offers training modules that can be delivered virtually at a time to suit, or face to face. Each one is interactive, engaging and full of practical insights, using relevant regional examples.
