Bond Solon Reviews

I feel that the course material lacked in relevance to role and not enough time was given to preparing for the final test.

useful and relevant training

I think it would be beneficial for Bond Solon to have a insolvency service trainer present to be able to link the course to our role as it was difficult for him to be able to answer some questions we have which is no fault of his. I also think the Insolvency Service need to provide better examples or let the trainer know what issues are part of the case and what are just general errors. Some cases had missing documents or errors throughout and it was unclear if that was part of the case or just an error.

Really good trainer and content - very informative and helpful.

Manual was spaced out with much too much space. Otherwise, this was a good reinforcement of what I already knew. Good to hear experience from others, so that was well facilitated.

I am clearer of the intended audience, however this course needs a change in approach. It has to help change the culture of the DO and the role, otherwise more officers will back off from doing this role. As is stands from the course it seems like everything has fallen down because of the DO, this is a team event and not just the DO. Maybe some sessions on disclosure strategies like, a detailed strategy on dealing with digital material when you have multiple devices and defendants. Some discussion on LPP as a reminder. This is an excellent opportunity to make the DO even better publicised, and make more officers want to do the job.

The concept of the course is really valuable to give people conducting the DO role an opportunity to explore the issues that they may experience and will have to deal with. It is a good opportunity to drill down to key risks in Disclosure that HMRC have identified. This could be focussing on key strategies that cause issues for Disclosure e.g. relevance, digital, material held by HMRC, sensitive material. The conference on the strategy session on day one if managed could really explore each of these. More use of all the group in all of the sessions (like day 3) would be beneficial - keep people engaged an occupied.

The course provided a lot of information around the section 8 process, and is really good at providing CPS expectations. There are some areas that are a bit repetitive, and also some cross over with other training.

Sue has a profound knowledge of the subject and her passion for improving practice was infectious. The study materials were excellent. It came highly recommended and I can see why. It's fascinating to hear from a lawyer about the legal basis and practicalities of safeguarding. The highlight for me was relating it all back to first principles of human rights law.

i am still a little unsure about my report submission for CUBS. It would be nice to have it looked over by a member of your team before submission
