# What you need to know

## The must-haves

This is the learning and qualifications that we consider to be mandatory for specific roles. 

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are providing care for people in the area of training needed then this makes it mandatory. 

For example, if you are in a team where there is behaviour that people find challenging, you would need the 'Positive behaviour support and non-restrictive practice' training. 

The Coach or Learning Lead for the Circle will be able to arrange any training you need. *All the mandatory training we offer or connect people to is free to **ALL** Team Members.*
