Safeguarding Adults - Level 3 Reviews

The trainer brought up examples that made the participants uncomfortable, like frequently mentioning a sexual assault case and female genital mutilation. he made a lot of generalizations of protected groups and said autistic people need more time to think and processes information. He wasn’t knowledgeable of models and processes of safeguarding practices and heavily relied on audience input. He admitted he wasn’t familiar with the presentation slides and was going off of his own experiences. He skipped the slides that covered safeguarding in higher education to a group of participants who work in higher education.

I liked the personal interaction and viewpoints. It felt very friendly and not at all pressured.

Print outs of the PPT slides, some were illegible as the font size too small

Overall, the session did not meet my expectations. The trainer appeared to have limited knowledge of some key areas, and the content wasn’t tailored to a higher education environment. Several important elements were skipped entirely, such as boundaries with students in the workplace, which is essential for our teams. When questions were asked, the trainer often appeared unsure and tended to give unclear or inaccurate answers rather than acknowledging when he didn’t know something. This made it difficult to feel confident in the information being delivered. I believe the trainer would benefit from further development before facilitating future sessions, especially for a group with specialist responsibilities.

Steven is an exceptional safeguarding trainer. He explained every slide clearly and in detail, and he actively engaged all participants in meaningful discussions. Thanks to his teaching, my understanding of safeguarding has greatly improved.

Steven was an outstanding participant throughout the safeguarding course and demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, engagement, and commitment to learning. From start to finish, he showed a genuine passion for safeguarding and a clear dedication to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of others. Steven actively contributed to discussions with insightful comments and thoughtful questions, showing a strong understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of safeguarding. He approached sensitive topics with maturity, empathy, and respect, creating a positive learning environment for everyone involved. What truly stood out was Steven’s ability to apply safeguarding principles to real-life scenarios. He showed excellent judgment, strong awareness of policies and procedures, and a clear understanding of reporting responsibilities. His confidence in recognising risks and taking appropriate action was evident throughout the course. Steven’s attitude was consistently positive, professional, and proactive. He worked well independently and as part of a team, supporting others and encouraging open discussion. His commitment to maintaining high safeguarding standards will undoubtedly have a positive impact in any setting he works in. Overall, Steven has gained a great deal from this course and is exceptionally well-prepared to uphold safeguarding responsibilities. He would be a real asset to any organisation, and I have no hesitation in highly recommending him.

The first handout we were given did not correspond to the presentation which was quite confusing. More discussion and activities around key components would have made the day more engaging. A lot to digest without much context or application to our jobs.

Not relevsnt as nhs and we are academia. Slides were allhealth care and not relevant. Content needs work for education

This was bastardised training aimed at adult social care. The presenter, as lovely as he is, didn’t know how to engage with educators or didn’t know much about the HE sector. This was not relevant and low quality.

Kevin was really knowledgeable and engaging. The way the session was delivered made it easier to retain the information. It was a really enjoyable day.
