The National Centre for Suicide Prevention Education & Training UK CIC Reviews

Great tutor

I found the course very clear and well delivered, however from a professional perspective there was too much focus on active listening, communication skills etc. that are central to the role I do as a social worker every day in numerous different scenarios- so less time spent on this would have held my interest more at this point - that said the course affirms the importance of these skills in suicide first aid

a worthwhile course that hopefully has better prepared me for conversations with those experiencing suicidal thinking.

good with finding your feet and confidence

Informative and beneficial. I feel better equipped.

A good course

Thank you! It was so useful to have break out groups where we could talk to each other rather than just listen to someone all the time. Breaks were at good times. Tutor felt 'real' not just reading powerpoints which we could have read ourselves. He was very open to questions.

A good course at beginner level. My policing experience of 26 years meant that I have dealt with numerous suicides and attempts over the years so probably a useful reminder for my current role working with the homeless.

We are in a school environment and our safety plan is much more detailed so the plan in this course wouldn't cover what we require. The questions going through the plan were good in the break out exercise. It would be useful to have some data/stats on suicide attempts in students. We are seeing more and more students who have not only planned it, but have actually unsuccessfully carried out their plan. More help in preventing them from repeating it would be useful and support. Information for us, the support workers on how we can get help as we are taking a lot on board emotionally

Overall a good course and served very well as a recap to training that I had undertaken before.
