Abstract

Abstract: This paper reports on an evaluation of health visitor trainers' experience of a cascade training programme delivered in Wales, UK. Health visitors used Driscoll's model (What, So What, Now What) to organise their feedback and an integrated competence model developed by Weeks et al. was used to analyse the feedback via category analysis of free text. As well as feedback on the logistics of running the training, the evaluation allowed for cognitive and functional competence to be identified along with personal and meta competence. There was limited scope for identifying ethical competence in the Health Visitor cascade trainer feedback. Suggestions are made for how this may be addressed. Highlights: Health visitor practice teachers were recruited to act as cascade trainers. Driscoll's model (What, So What, Now What) was used to capture feedback. Integrated competence model used for category analysis evaluation of free text. Cognitive, functional, personal/meta competence identified but not ethical. Suggestions made for using Sellman's virtues to refine ethical competence.
