Attended my associate trainer refresher today. The session was insightful and a good recap on breakaway skills. I learnt new information to use within my session to help delegates apply a gradient approach, remain safe and support people in a person centred and dignified way. Kirsty was engaging, helpful and respectful throughout. I always enjoy my annual refreshers and Sherwood as always, are incredibly supportive.

Always a delight to attend the refresher training. Kirsty was brilliant as always. Key points that stood out were the understanding how language shapes culture, how to improve de-escalation explained to staff, further understanding on the arousol model with the changes and the RPI refresher. The added examples and explanations made the training very enjoyable.

Always works well with Andy, great knowledge and understanding of the issues and how the setting runs. Have ideas around the issues and needs of learners and staff and spoke about what to look at to improve. Clear and clean with Q and A to check learning

It’s fantastic to hear that working with Andy continues to be a positive experience, his deep understanding of the setting and the challenges faced by both learners and staff really shines through. We're glad his ideas around improvement felt relevant and constructive. It’s also great to know the Q&A was clear and effective in checking learning. That kind of clarity and responsiveness is exactly what we aim for. Thanks again for taking the time to reflect and share

Really helpful tips and ideas for refresher courses going forward. Theories are clearly explained with research to support- really informative and interesting.

Would have liked to have gone over all practical skill a bit more, but ran out of time. Enjoyed the course overall Andy really does know his stuff. Would have liked a few more ideas for refresh course
