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.

Thought provoking, and will be very useful for implementing into reflective practice as well as day to day. Would be good to have day one and two run automatically together to make application of the knowledge gained in day one useful in day two.

Response: Thank you, Rachel. We really appreciate your open and constructive feedback. We understand that it can sometimes be difficult to envisage how some of the practical elements may work in real-life situations, as every situation and individual can be different. As an evidence-based training provider, the approaches we teach are designed to support safe, proportionate and least restrictive practice. We hope the course helped build your understanding and confidence in considering how the learning may be applied within your role.
