Would you like to know more about Behavioural Economics?  Why we do what we do, rather than what we should do…

What is it?  Behavioural Economics is increasing our understanding of the way we make decisions. This knowledge is helping businesses develop more profitable models, regulators more effective controls and governments more efficient incentives.

In this session will look at the theories underpinning the science and consider some of the more common decision errors.

By the end of the session, you will have a greater insight into the ways a gentle nudge may be more effective than a hefty shove!

Agenda

• Introductions
• Why does Behavioural Economics matter?
• The Theory
• Prospect Theory
• Bounded Rationality, Heuristics and Biases
• Fast and Slow Thinking
• MINDSPACE

An open mind, a willingness to listen and share. Please also bring any issues and problems you are happy to talk about. 

• Neil Mason (Business Growth Advisor, New Anglia Growth Hub) Grants

Why This Course?

This focus of this course is in developing, implementing, monitoring and verifying food safety procedures. It will cover a wider range of food safety hazards, to a greater depth, than Level 3 courses. This course is an important step towards our client businesses become more self-sufficient with food safety management. Ultimately it helps to protect your brand and your customers’ confidence in your products and services.

Owners & managers of larger/multi-site catering or manufacturing business, especially where food safety management systems are bespoke.

Also, anyone involved in the implementation of food safety management systems and the direct supervision of staff. If you’re unsure, give us a call to discuss your needs.

How Is This Course Delivered?

There’s no substitute for a traditional classroom-based course for Level 4 (Zoom just doesn’t cut it here). The course is delivered at our No.8 training facilities where we have a full range of COVID-19 controls in place. This is a challenging course, equivalent to Foundation/1st Year Degree level studies, so a degree of self-study will be required. There are five, 1-day sessions, followed by an assessment on a 6th day; assessment is a 2.5 hour-long mix of mutli-choice questions (but tought ones!) and long-answer questions.

NANSA, a disability charity for people in Norfolk, hasalmostraised enough money for a minibus. Can you help with the final stages?

The minibus we are looking to buy costs £20,000. So far we’ve raised £17,000, so we’re not far off at all! We just need your help with these final stages of fundraising.

Why do we need a minibus?

We currently havetwo cars,a Berlingo and Kangoo. These are used totake members from our Youth and Adult Services on outings, such as bowling or swimming.

Theseare the challenges we are currently faced with:

• Our numbers have outgrown the size of thesevehicles.
• The cars fit a maximum of three members in each, butacross all services there are 140 people that attendNANSA!
• Although the cars have wheelchair space, they don’tcater for all wheelchair specifications, meaning that some people are unable to join in on outings.
• Our support workers struggle to transport wheelchair users into the cars, as you can see in the film.

A minibuys would benefit us in lots ofdifferent ways:

• First and foremost, it’s a 16 seater, so we would be able to take large groups out. This would give members the opportunity to experience more and visit lots of different places.
• The minibus fitsallwheelchair specifications (check out the space in the back!) so our outings would be fully inclusive.
• There is an automated lift which would make transporting wheelchair users much more straightforward, as well as saving our support workers’ backs!
• The range of activities would be broadened, and people would have much more choice in what they want to get out of NANSA’s services.
• Some members aredoing courses where they cangain a nationallyaccredited Gateway qualification, promoting employment opportunities. With a minibus, members would be able to get much more out of these courses,as they would be able tovisit places in the community, reinforcing what they have learnt during sessions.
• A minibus would ultimately allow our members to access the wider community on a regular basis, and therefore integrate into society.
