Libraries News
Our Learning Libraries is committed to evolving and providing our learners with a worthwhile learning experience.
Net Zero – Coming Soon
Global travel, growing waste year on year and the ‘throw away’ culture had tipped the scales.
Our new Net Zero Collection, coming in 2022 is designed to give practical lessons and resources on how we can all help. As people, we need to take a serious look at the problems & come up with solutions that we can apply to our everyday lives.
But don’t be put off, this is not your typical training on sustainability. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the approach and topics we’re working on. It’s also packed with resources and extra learning – we know that 20 minutes of eLearning can’t solve all the problems but it can set you on the path to creating a better future
Some sneak peaks will be coming out in March so stay tuned on socials & Showcase

New Title Releases
New additions to our Libraries.
Safeguarding for All: Adult Edition [Global] (Safeguarding Collection)
Safeguarding is an ongoing concern in the world. We all need to do our best to ensure that when we feel we might have come across a possible concern, that we understand if/what we need to do.
We’ve created a new Lesson designed on the Global best practices of safeguarding adults for everyone.
This Safeguarding for All learning module, outlines how you can play an important part in helping to prevent the abuse and neglect of adults with care and support needs. This course is suitable for everyone who might find themselves in a safeguarding situation, not just for those in a care sector role.
It should take you around 20 minutes to complete this module. Action points are included to help your ongoing learning, and an end-of-module quiz will check your knowledge and understanding.

Digital Wellbeing [Self Care Collection]
The advent of the smartphone and the rise of portable tech like laptops and tablets, means that we always have technology at the touch of a button wherever we are. We can shop, book a table, check our emails, take a photo and post it online or look up facts we can’t quite remember. This lesson is 10 minute in duration & has some great tips, curated resources and is CPD accredited.
In this lesson, we’ll look at:
- What digital wellbeing means and how technology has shaped how we work and live
- How we can ensure a good balance with technology during the working day
- How to switch off at the end of the working day and find a balance with technology away from work
