Ok training but very, very dry content. Half the day was mostly stats. PP slides were very dull. Perhaps a difficult subject to do on Teams.

I’ve had training before so felt fairly confident already. It’s always good to have a refresher but I don’t feel I learnt anything new.

It was definitely informative and helpful but I felt as though it could perhaps use with a bit of redistribution of time. A lot of time on the stats and background of suicide which ultimately led to, (in my opionion), not enough time on step 2 or 3 of suicide response. I would have liked to discuss examples of how to respond to difficult scenarios or statements a bit more and for it to be a bit more clear about exactly the places we should be signposting people and the resources we should use in any given situation

I felt like the first part of the session focused on the statistics and individual motivation was unnecessarily long. I felt like the course would benefit from shortening it and instead allocating the time for practical role plays to get more accustomed to having uncomfortable conversations. I felt like that bit wasn’t covered enough.

Basic course covering main issues but given the time limitations not very in depth

Response: Hello Siobhan, thank you for the feedback. Well, I don't mean to be defensive but we were commissioned to do a 1 hour talk only. However, we do have Full day and a Half day courses for thorough and indepth learning. Here is out website should this interest you. https://suicidefirstaid.uk/training/ Thank you once again for being there!

Good course, however lack of information about particular risk factors such as domestic abuse, people with learning disabilities and neuro divergences

The training was far too long, given the topic discussed.
