“Thank you very much for sharing your expertise and facilitating such a richly collaborative and engaging learning experience.
It was especially good of you to hang around after the sessions to give personalized responses, thank you.”
“Thank you to you and Kate for such amazing content in the ICPA Advanced Child Protection training sessions. It was so helpful to revisit some of the information you had shared with us in your audit, to learn from Kate and the other participants. I know that our team were really motivated by the sessions”
“I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the three days training last week. I was disappointed to arrive on Thursday morning knowing I did not have an online course!”
“You and Kate did a marvellous job of engaging all participants in a really positive, interactive and dynamic way. Discussions were open, the breakout groups incredibly well managed and the scenario-based learning prompted excellent and fruitful conversations and learning from all participants. I gained so much from the 3-days and really appreciated working with colleagues from around the world and from some of the top schools globally. Thank you.”
“Thanks so much for all that you have done. You have brought so much insight and have positively impacted our thinking around safeguarding in our school community. The report is really very helpful and genuinely more than I had expected you would have been able to provide.”
“I write on behalf of all of us to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for your stellar Child Protection work at our school last week. We are well on our way, fuelled by your valued comments and recommendations”
“I got so much out of the course, the scenarios and break-out rooms were carefully orchestrated. I saw safeguarding from many different perspectives and the course has certainly made me think more mindfully about student voice. Thank you for a very worthwhile 12 hours- it passed by too quickly!”
“This is just a quick message to say thank you for the last 3 days. I found the course very useful for me as I embark on the DSL role in my new school. I look forward to working with you again in the future.”
“It was a great group of people, a really interesting and useful range of activities. My favourite was the Tuesday session where you posed multiple choice questions and then we voted and discussed - I thought that was incredibly useful and a real eye opener!”
“Many thanks for the extremely useful training this weekend. You both managed to fully engage us with this challenging topic and, typing up my notes, I realised just how much we covered.”
“Just wanted to say thanks again for the very informative training. It was also a pleasure to meet you both. As I said your class was very engaging and practical. Having been through numerous trainings, this was by far one of the best.”
“Thank you for visiting and giving a wonderful training for us all. I appreciate your time and expertise shared with us, and greatly enjoyed the discussions. There is a lot I have learned, and a lot more conversation to be had amongst our school team here as we continue to fine tune our child safeguarding protocols and procedures.”
"Safety and security don't just happen; they are the result of collective consensus and public investment.We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear"
