Pricing
Sahara Family Advice is a Non-Profit Community Interest Company (CIC) run solely by its founders. It was formed with a vision to provide a professional and affordable service to communities. However, there are unfortunately unavoidable costs. We have focused on minimising these costs as much as possible as we wish to make our service accessible to all. Our service is priced reasonably at the fraction of the cost usually charged by other organisations and professionals. Our services are charged at a standard rate of £45 per hour. Please contact finance@saharafamilyadvice.org.uk for further information.

At Sahara Family Advice we believe in making a genuine difference. Therefore along with training courses, we have introduced a unique TRAINING REFLECTION RECORD service.
The Training Reflection Record is a report written by a qualified social worker which details the learning and reflection you have evidenced during the training course. This is then followed by a Social Worker analysis. This report can be utilised in court to evidence the specific learning and reflection you have undertaken. This service is used mainly for our fundamental courses.

ALL COURSES ARE DELIVERED ON A ONE TO ONE BASIS.
ANY TRAINING COURSE INCLUDING CERTIIFCATE OF COMPLETION: F: £64.99 C: £130 £100
