Ben was amazing. I’ve definitely learnt a lot on this course, and felt very grounded throughout. It’s reminded me of my “why” and the positive impact I hope to have on our young people’s lives. I’m really excited to start. Thank you Ben.

Training was delivered clearly and with care. Ben kept the energy high which kept all engaged and fun to learnt. He went through all information clearly making sure we knew and any moves were repeated until all had good understanding and technique.

Ben was absolutely amazing over the past 3 days. Each day he came with energy and so much knowledge which he taught us not just verbally but gave demonstrations for everything. He really got into the deeper thoughts behind what the child may be feeling when we are performing restraints or breakaways and how to keep everyone safe. Thank you.

Response : It’s wonderful to hear how Ben maintained such energy and enthusiasm throughout all three days. His combination of clear explanations, practical demonstrations and focus on the child’s feelings clearly made the learning both meaningful and memorable. Thank you for recognising his commitment to safe, compassionate practice—we’ll be proud to share your comments with him.

Ben was incredible. His knowledge of the course was 2nd to none. It felt like we were the first group he had ever trained with the energy and enthusiasm he gave from start to finish. He gave perfect examples of how to use de escalation and holds where necessary. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who knows next to nothing or has over 50 years experience in this field. He is a credit to the company and the young people he will help indirectly through his work. Give the man a raise!

Ben was brilliant over the past three days. He really took the time to explain theory with case studies, allowing the team to think about different approaches that would help to support children. I learnt a lot from this experience, such as co spidering perception or perspective, but also the importance of slowing down and seeing the bigger picture. The practical side was very useful, explained really well and was not rushed. Thank you!

I’ve done Sheerwood around 4 times now and this weeks been the best I’ve ever experienced. Ben really went into depth around behaviours of concern and the communication behind this. I’ve never had a trainer give resistance during the interventions but honestly by doing this it felt real and showed us all that actually all these techniques do work - I feel this should be a standard across all trainers. He’s been approachable, listened and just overall a good educator and person. Thank you!
