This course was very thorough and all trainers were experts in the delivery of each part. Corrections were made throughout to ensure all trainees knew exactly what and why they were being corrected, showing the risks that come if strategies are done properly. The course had many good anecdotes that give perpective and reasoning behind each choice of defence. It was child focused and highlighted the safety of children as a priority without demonising the behaviours seen in schools.

This course have been very helpful. We had lots of time to practice the brake aways and guards. There was lots of demonstrations which helped remember the moves. Crystal and Anna would correct me if I hadn’t done a brake away correctly one to one which helped a lot with my technique.

Very informative, good anecdotes and examples given to embed learning. Plenty of brain breaks.

I found all the releases and guards really useful, but the most useful thing (as it was in level 1) was discussing the theory around RRN: finding the why and using all our tools to avoid non-restrictive breakaway/self preservation. I learnt something new today, in the discussion surrounding how we are unable to learn if we are off our baseline, so denying someone something they want is not avoiding the person learning an unhealthy behaviour, because they're not in a mindset to learn. This was so great to hear and take away with me.
