The role play is great and I do recommend it. However, it would be better to know who you are going to be, perhaps the day before, so that you can prepare for your role play. In a real situation you would at least know who you are - it is very difficult to role play on the hoof when you are not that person and do not thoroughly know your witness statement. So not sure why we weren't given that opportunity... Other than that the course was great :)
Very helpful guidance on dos and don'ts of being a witness, protocol, housekeeping, styles of questions and scope of responses.
karen is an excellent trainer with a wealth of knowledge. The course shows the importance of an full and accurate statement and the need for thorough preparation.
Trainer (Nick) was very knowledgeable of the subject and gave reassurance and good constructive feedback throughout the day to take forward.
Ren is a really engaging trainer, knows so much, and delivers it in an accessible and relevant way :-)
It would have been more of an advantage to have been able to be more familiar with the witness statements that were used in the role plays. The time to read this was not factored into the course time meaning I had to do this on top of other workload and in personal vening time. It would also be helpful if you were assigned one witness statement in particular to be questioned on which would be more realistic to a real life tribunal as you would know your statement.
I enjoyed the course which went surprisingly quickly for an all day course on line. The practical case study exercises were directly relevant to my role and the feedback from the trainer was extremely helpful.
a useful refresher as it was over 20 years since I did this training initially
Venue could have been better. The room wasn't easily converted into a mock examination environment
