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

I am really pleased we booked the course for the Wellbeing Team and also offered spaces out to other MSDC staff. The additional input from outside of the team was really refreshing. Although I had completed some suicide prevention training in the past, refreshing this is always helpful.

Well delivered and inclusive. Would recommend to others.

Suicide is not an easy topic to discuss but by being open and honest, you can have frank and gentle discussions. This can then bring forth resolutions and put plans in place to get the help needed.

A really informative, interesting, touching, morning. Some of the stats surprised and shocked me. It was interesting to learn some of the techniques which, though I hope I'll never need to use, I would feel more comfortable now to use. Also the directness of the use of the word 'suicide' was also a surprise to me but such a good approach

I take my hat off to Al, on such a difficult topic & delivering this for the first time he was brilliant & I really enjoyed the course.

Fantastic course, really well organised and lots of useful information. Finished the course feeling inspired.

I have been a front line officers for years, dealing with mental health and suicide on a regular basis, on top of that I have been trained in mental health first aid. The objective of this course was to teach us to recognise signs of suicide and how to response, however I have been doing this for years. I have had numerous members of the public tell me they wish to end their life, I have talked people off bridges and been involved in numerous mental health incidents, I don't feel this course is appropriate for experienced police officers, as teaching us how to listen and talk to someone is pretty much what we do everyday. I feel this course would be perfect for new officers prior to deployment. The course content was good, the tutor was good, it just wasn't the right course for me.

This was an extremely helpful course. The tutor was very informative and professional in delivering such a delicate subject.

This was a good course with relative information needed, the Tutor was a wealth of knowledge in this area and engaged well with the group. The tutor presented in a fashion to keep the group engaged and discuss the topics raised. Very well presented.
