Service Finder Training
Service Finder is a free tool to support professionals in Dorset to access information about local services through a shared data set. This is regularly reviewed and maintained. The shared data set can be used by other websites, tools, or directories.
If you are a health, council, or VCS professional working in Dorset and would like to use Service Finder, please contact servicefinder@can100.org to arrange a training session via Microsoft Teams for you and/or your team.
In the session, we’ll walk you through:
- How to access Service Finder
- Using the full range of filters effectively
- Saving and sharing services with colleagues or clients
We’re very flexible and happy to tailor training to your team. If you help people find local services and want to make that process easier with Service Finder, please get in touch.
