Training
DHA's training builds organisational capacity. We will develop your team’s core communication skills - from dealing with the media and campaigning to presentation and how to write effectively.
We have delivered numerous training courses covering a range of communications skills. Whether you need one to one training for your chief executive or a seminar for 60 employees, we deliver coaching and learning to make you the most effective communicators through any medium.
We have trained groups of police officers for Merseyside Police and Cheshire Police – preparing them for handling the media. We have delivered web-writing courses for the IDeA, and the Audit Commission and courses in report writing.
DHA has led communications planning seminars for the board of the Equal Opportunities Commission and provided interview coaching to senior staff at Burnley Council, Fusion 21 and Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority.

GOVERNMENT ACTS ON KIDS IN THE MIDDLE
DHA CAMPAIGN DRAWS £60 MILLION SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AFFECTED BY RELATIONSHIP BREAKDOWN
Kids in the Middle, the campaign devised by DHA Communications for the Fatherhood Institute and other family charities, has won £60 million backing from Government.
At the first ever Relationship Summit, called in response to the campaign backed by 17 of the nation's agony aunts - collectively known as an 'anguish' - Ed Balls said that he was taking a new approach to the issue. He said: "Too often in the past we have focused on supporting adults when they are breaking up but we have not thought enough about the impact on children. We are pioneering a new approach here in thinking about this particular group of vulnerable children.
Among the measures announced today will be further support for new and first-time parents through ante-natal education and parenthood programmes and plans to train practitioners to help them identify and raise relationship issues.
£60m extra will be ploughed into 1,500 schools for over 200,000 children and young people to access support such as counselling and peer mentoring at school.
£5.5m will also be announced for better coordinated local support for separating couples.
