2022 Briefing Sessions Feedback

Thank you to all who attended the 2022 sessions. More than 350 delegates attended the Autumn 2022 briefing sessions and I would like to share some of the feedback.

MAT – Director of Quality Assurance and Development

The training was excellent – clear, detailed and a great range of examples to bring the material to life…often with very sobering detail!  All the colleagues I spoke to said how helpful they had found it, and one colleague said it was the best safer recruitment training she had ever been on.

We are delighted to be working with you, thank you for all your advice and support. 

Special School – Deputy Head Teacher
