The safeguarding framework you trained us on has been transformative. This morning, reviewing a PI report with triggered tasks, I saw how much it’s improved our recording processes and evidence for safeguarding actions. Risk assessments are now easily updated and monitored—thank you for your invaluable support and knowledge.

The training was highly valuable. The trainer was knowledgeable and approachable, making complex topics easier to understand. It reinforced my understanding of safeguarding and clarified the DSL role, helping me and my team leaders navigate grey areas.

I recently completed a Suicide and Self-Harm training session, and I am incredibly impressed with the depth and quality of the content. Leanne was both knowledgeable and engaging, providing clear, actionable guidance on handling sensitive topics such as ligature safety, self-harm recognition, and prevention techniques. The training not only expanded my knowledge but also equipped me with practical tools to identify warning signs and respond appropriately in crisis situations. I feel more confident in supporting individuals who may be struggling with these issues and am grateful for the resources provided. I highly recommend this training to anyone in the field, it’s a vital learning experience that will significantly enhance your ability to safeguard and support vulnerable individuals.
