AI summary of reviews

Consistently knowledgeable, patient and engaging trainers are the provider’s clearest strength, making complex theory accessible through humour, real-life examples, discussion and hands-on practice. Attendees value the safe, supportive atmosphere, clear explanations, thoughtful adaptations and opportunities to ask questions and repeat techniques until confident. Courses are generally well structured and paced, with useful breaks, and learning transfers directly to workplace practice and everyday situations; a few attendees find some sessions longer or more repetitive than necessary.

This course has taught me how I can minimise restraint and bring the person back to baseline rather than restraining.

The trainer was brilliant. He was detailed about the importance of de-escalation. I will never forget the phrase "the best form of breakaway is no breakaway"... what a deep statement!!!. Big thanks to Ben and Sheerwood, that was really insightful.

I feel confident and equipped to make sure the person I support feels safe and secure in my care. I am aware of the legislation and regulations I need to abide by. I have learnt restraint is the last result and i will always remind myself of this statement

The course had great content that was relevant to the client group we support with learning disabilities and autism. The structure of the course was just right and pitched to keep the learners engaged. Ben was very engaging, willing to work with us to encourage group discussion regarding thinking of strategies that can be used to prevent the need for physical intervention. Ben was open to listening to staff views and listening to staff information and experiences of the person we support. I have written down a lot of ideas during this course to take back and add into the support plan regarding strategies and tools.

Response: Thank you, Sharon. We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback and are delighted to hear the course was relevant to the people you support. It’s great to know Ben encouraged collaborative discussion and reflection around proactive strategies, with a clear focus on preventing and reducing the need for restrictive interventions. We’re particularly pleased that you’ve taken away practical ideas that can help inform individualised support planning and practice.
