Education & Training

At CAVDAS, learning and development is a key part of what we do. Our approach is grounded in harm reduction which underpins all of our training, ensuring staff understand how to reduce risk, respond effectively to people who use substances, and promote safer, more informed decision-making. As a large and varied service, we support staff across multiple roles to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence they need, not just for their current roles, but for their ongoing professional growth.

This work is supported by a dedicated Learning & Development Team, with volunteering now also forming part of this strand, creating further opportunities for people to build experience, skills and confidence within the service.

We also work beyond our service, delivering specialist training to partners across housing, health, education and criminal justice.
