The PBTR resources include templates, articles, videos, interactive scenarios and more. The interactive scenarios are clean, simple, and clear and give you information on what to do, how to react or adapt programs or how to provide support with a list of fact sheets at each stage.  Check out this one on inclusion of people with a disability 

There is also a range of online/face to face learning available covering topics such as child protection, inclusive coaching, complaint handling and more. There are also mini-courses, which are short topic specific courses, with interactive features and quizzes. Typically, each mini-course takes around 30-45 mins to complete and you can download your certificate of completion. Take a look and start a mini-course today
