Child Safe Environments Training
Clinical Training
Customer testimonials
The training was conducted in a professional and friendly manner, giving trainees plenty of opportunities to discuss ideas and comment on issues as they related to the trainee’s own personal experiences. This enabled clarification not only from a legal perspective, but it also produced a deeper and broader insight into what constitutes child abuse and neglect. I particularly found valuable the primacy of a ‘child focus’ approach in relation to assessing child abuse, noting how our values and attitudes impact our assessment of others.
It was easy to understand, very friendly and I felt comfortable and encouraged to contribute.
The trainer explained things so well and was very encouraging with her feedback. I like the breakout room activities as it lets us apply the new knowledge straight away, which is how I learn best.
