Sherwood Training reviews

AI summary of reviews

Consistently knowledgeable, patient and engaging trainers are the provider’s clearest strength, making complex theory accessible through humour, real-life examples, discussion and hands-on practice. Attendees value the safe, supportive atmosphere, clear explanations, thoughtful adaptations and opportunities to ask questions and repeat techniques until confident. Courses are generally well structured and paced, with useful breaks, and learning transfers directly to workplace practice and everyday situations; a few attendees find some sessions longer or more repetitive than necessary.

I have been trained by other providers in previous organisations, and when I was looking for a new provider I wanted someone different, I could see the flaws un all the other providers, the language used to support vulnerable children, the physical restraints and how none of them focused on the child themselves, seeing the child before the behaviour. On the website and from talking to Rachael it quickly became apparent that sherwood had the same mindset as I did. As a registered manager this is so important as the training must be right to embed the culture that I want in my staff team. I really enjoyed that the training covered the law,relevant legislation and the children's homes regulations. I have learnt how I want my PBS plans and RA to look, how I'm going to adapt these to meet the needs of each child, whilst also incorporating the law. This training has been the best PBS I have ever taken part in,it was the right pace,the right interaction and Ben was an excellent trainer who was able to share lived experiences which is also really beneficial. Thankyou Ben and Sherwood I will be booking training for the next new starters, so this positive culture becomes embedded within Virtue.

Response: Hi Lynn. Thank you for leaving detailed feedback. We know that our Associate Trainers work very hard to deliver high quality courses. I will personally send Matt an email to share your comments. Thanks again.

The course was very good as the trainer knows one of the young people in our home as he also goes to the school that the trainer is a teacher at so we could relate the training to this young person. The training was delivered at a pace we all kept up with and the material is relevant to what we need at the home.

Matt was an exceptional trainer, making us feel at ease. He was able to answer questions easily and competently. It was good to have a trainer with understanding of one of our YP's. Excellent course! Thank you.

I did learn new things on this course and a simplified approach to break away techniques compared to others I have done in the past. Trainer was knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout and check that I understood any point I needed clarifying.
