10:00 to 12:30
A 2.5-hour training session led by an energy expert from the Centre for Sustainable Energy. *Free tickets for third sector organisations (charities, the voluntary sector and other not-for-profit organisations).
The escalating costs of domestic gas and electricity have left millions of households struggling to cope.
This online training session will help individuals and organisations who work with low-income families and support them to stay warm, healthy and out of debt.
Attendees will learn to recognise the signs of fuel poverty and direct people to the appropriate agency for further support.
Training will cover:
- How to recognise that someone is in fuel poverty.
- Health and social impacts of living in a cold home.
- Advice on using heating and hot water controls.
- Dealing with electricity and gas suppliers.
- Making the home more energy efficient.
- Tackling damp and mould.
- How to give energy efficiency advice to the people you support.
- Accessing further support.
This training will be particularly valuable for those working with vulnerable clients who struggle to maintain a basic quality of life through being unable to heat their homes or afford their household bills.
It will be useful even if your primary reason for visiting vulnerable clients is not about energy usage.
