Excellence in Report Writing - Written Evidence Reviews

Really well put together course with good use of exercises and discussion. Maintained my interest over a whole day and will greatly inform how I work. Francesca was excellent.

Well presented Very knowledgeable and the day did flow with good interaction from all

Very good interactive course wth lots of discussion.

Thank you very much for today, I enjoyed this and learnt a lot. It would have been good to have examined and assessed a report prepared by an expert witness for the purposes of court. We had some reports to look over but they were not prepared for court. While a lot of learning could take place, there was possibly some missed learning. I appreciate that there is the issue of confidentiality, but there could be ways around this so that this is not compromised.

I thought this was overall a very good training session which helped me in understanding what would be required of me as an expert witness (something I am completely new to). There were a few technical glitches and delays, where I would suggest approaching delegates prior to the course to request to submit an advance any prior anonymised reports that could then be incorporated into the training pack/allocations to ultimately streamline that element, as the scenarios were very helpful.

Good course

Really useful! Hugely practical tips

The only reason I did not put 5/5 overall was because my focus is SEND tribunal and this was not an area covered by today's course (I thought it was). I did find the guidance for that during the day, however, and most of the content was applicable. Thank you for some excellent and enjoyable training.

I would have liked a part of the course to have looked at the use of objective vs subjective language. I suspect some of this would be covered in the cross-examination course, but I think it would have been useful to have a section about this here.

Simon was a great trainer and did a great job going through the material and keeping it interesting over video call. Very helpful course, i would definitely recommend it to others .
