This training was of a high standard and delivered brilliantly – just the right mix of getting to know everyone, theory and practice. Gerard was particularly good at putting things into perspective – in regards to the law and our duty of care – when sometimes we are too emotionally involved to make the correct decisions involving our own personal safety, thinking only of the children we teach. It was great that we were able to ask him questions specific to our own settings and to get advice on particular children we care for. The website resources are useful too – I think we shall be adapting / magpie -ing some for use in our setting. Overall, a day very well spent.
