Carol with her faithful and trusted guide dog
Flora who is always on duty
The role of DTO has given me the opportunity
to oversee all the units within my area to maintain standards and training for
all volunteers. Alongside DTO I have
also continued to be a trainer, this in itself means that I can still take an
active role within the units and that other volunteers can see that having any
disability is not a barrier within the organisation.
Since taking on the role of the DTO has given
me a much deeper involvement within the educational training programme. I now have to be more involved at district
and regional meetings. I link between the unit managers, area managers and the
regional training team. The role of the DTO has given me the opportunity to
oversee all the training requirements within my area to maintain training for
all volunteers of all ages.
On taking on the DTO role it has kept me
abreast of all new changes within the training programme and has not in any way
stopped me from continuing as a trainer delivering a variety of modules to all
age groups within the organisation. I would recommend taking on any new
challenge whether it be in the educational team or providing first aid cover. I
have also been invited onto the newly formed Learning forum, NHQ London, so
watch this space.
