Before developing and delivering any training, a good training provider engages with the organisation or service that needs training and finds out as much information as possible about the needs and characteristics of the staff and the people they support. This means they are confident that the training they provide is appropriate, proportional, meets identified needs, and any elevated risks are highlighted and adjustments made where needed.
