What participants say
"The workshop was very informative and allowed me to develop further knowledge on the safeguarding of children. The leaders of the workshop were also accommodating in terms of my visual impairment and were more than happy to make adaptions to ensure that I was able to take part in all aspects of the training."
"I gave this workshop a rating of 10/10 because it was a great experience. I really appreciated how every participant had the chance to express their thoughts and have discussions in small groups, which made it much more efficient than speaking in a large group. The course was also fun and had a good flow, with adequate breaks in between. Overall, it was a great learning experience. Thank you."
