Don't Wait For A Crisis

As advisers, most of our time is spent working with individuals to help each person secure the benefits that are theirs by right. Too often, people only seek help at time of crisis. ICAN can now offer sessions in Benefits Advice and Social Care, so that people can learn in advance and know what to expect, either for themselves or to help others.

Carefully Planned Sessions

We offer stand-alone, short sessions with experienced and qualified tutors, offering a very practical approach to welfare rights and social care. Courses are interactive, with time for discussion among members. Everyone has their unique experience to share and the opportunity to learn from each other is valued.

Places are limited. Register your interest and we can confirm your place.  Choose between, Cooking on a Budget, Know Your Rights and Money-Go-Round, or join all three! 

All our courses are suitable for benefits claimants, carers, family members and supporters, and people working in the sector who need an understanding to enable them to better support their client group. All our courses are also very suitable for people who wish to volunteer or consider benefits advice as a career.

This is what some of learners said about previous courses:

Sue from 2IC Welfare Team, "I would always recommend this course to family, friends, and colleagues. This course is invaluable to anyone interested in Welfare Rights personally or professionally. This course has helped me assist Veterans with successful applications for P.I.P, Attendance Allowance and a Mandatory Reconsideration. Without the knowledge this course gave me, I would not have been as confident to help others"

"The session was very clear, the vocal presentation well supported by the PowerPoint, questions answered clearly, presenter had excellent knowledge of the subject"

"Many thanks for running this course. It was so informative whilst highlighting the pitfalls of form filling in."

"Thank you to you and Karen for the course, I learned quite a lot from it."

"Thanks to Karen, Ritchie, yourself, and everyone at Netherton for an enjoyable course and friendly venue."

Know Your Rights

In addition to ICAN’s one-to-one support and advice, our programme of Know Your Rights free training sessions, enable and inform, so that you are prepared and ready if you need to make a claim, or seek help.  Our courses are suitable for individual benefits claimants, carers and family members and staff in supporting roles.
