What is Ask For Angela

What is the training and why is it important?

For the scheme to be effective, it is important that team members are trained on what to do if someone asks for Angela or if they notice someone becoming vulnerable. GMCA, in partnership with Ask For Angela and support from each of the ten local authorities across the region, has launched a bespoke online self led Greater Manchester Ask For Angela Vulnerability training, there are licences for 1500 team members to complete the course for free with potential to extend this should all these be used.
