Very knowledgeable and inclusive trainer - thank you Steve you have been great today
Thanks for running this Steve, its really good to go back over the approach and make sure I'm dealing things directly and compassionately. I think that it might be good to have some examples of maybe when there's a situation that's concerning but you might not be the best person to step in what to do in that case?
Great course, thanks Steve!
