Beginner - Introductory Level
Developed by Linda Fay, a founding member of Scotland’s Hoarding Taskforce, this module was created to raise awareness and increase knowledge of hoarding disorder as a mental health condition.
For those who encounter severe clutter and hoarding-related situations in their professional role and want to develop a deeper understanding of risk assessment, proportionate and integrated intervention, and how to apply behaviour change science in practice.
Intermediate - Advanced Level
Endorsements
“This is the first course I've come across that feels like it was designed specifically for the role I'm doing.
As a Tenant Wellbeing & Safety Officer in a brand-new role within the council, we're very much building the plane while flying it, so having training that's directly relevant has been a huge help.”
“This course has given me some really solid building blocks to start from and has definitely increased my confidence when it comes to working with tenants, assessing risks and having what can sometimes be difficult conversations. I know a lot of the real learning will come from practical experience, but this course has given me a strong foundation to build on.”
“The course gave me a much better understanding of hoarding behaviours and helped me look beyond the obvious clutter to understand what might be happening for the person.
I particularly liked that it focused on understanding behaviour rather than just "clearing stuff out." It felt realistic, practical and grounded in the challenges we actually face.”
“This is one of the most useful and relevant courses I've completed in my career.
I finished the course feeling better equipped for my role and with plenty of practical ideas to take forward into my day-to-day work.”
“I have ADHD, so I naturally tend to look at things from a slightly different angle, and that's one of the reasons this role suits me down to the ground.
The course complemented that really well by encouraging curiosity, empathy and creative thinking rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
I've sat through plenty of training over the years and, if I'm being honest, not all of it has managed to hold my attention. This course had the opposite effect - I found myself genuinely interested all the way through and wanting to get to the next module. For someone with ADHD, that's probably the strongest recommendation I can give!”
“This course was a real eye-opener.”
