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.

Crystal, Anna, and Ben were great. Made us feel really comfortable and explained in detail. The part that I took away most is that the best breakaway is no breakaway, and that using our talking skills and knowledge of the children will be enough to support them most of the time.

Absolutely brilliant, loved the training and it gave a really good insight for me in the theory side and especially the practical side learning how to break away through very effective methods in numerous situations. I learnt some really key points that will stick with me in my day to day job and it has been really helpful and delivered great.

This course was very thorough and all trainers were experts in the delivery of each part. Corrections were made throughout to ensure all trainees knew exactly what and why they were being corrected, showing the risks that come if strategies are done properly. The course had many good anecdotes that give perpective and reasoning behind each choice of defence. It was child focused and highlighted the safety of children as a priority without demonising the behaviours seen in schools.

Response: Thank you, Grace. We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback and are delighted to hear you found the course thorough, informative and relevant to your school setting. It’s great to know the trainers’ clear explanations, constructive guidance and real-world examples supported your understanding, while keeping the safety, dignity and individual needs of children at the heart of the learning.

This course have been very helpful. We had lots of time to practice the brake aways and guards. There was lots of demonstrations which helped remember the moves. Crystal and Anna would correct me if I hadn’t done a brake away correctly one to one which helped a lot with my technique.

Very informative, good anecdotes and examples given to embed learning. Plenty of brain breaks.

I found all the releases and guards really useful, but the most useful thing (as it was in level 1) was discussing the theory around RRN: finding the why and using all our tools to avoid non-restrictive breakaway/self preservation. I learnt something new today, in the discussion surrounding how we are unable to learn if we are off our baseline, so denying someone something they want is not avoiding the person learning an unhealthy behaviour, because they're not in a mindset to learn. This was so great to hear and take away with me.

Very knowledgeable Explained in detail from day 1 theory to day 3 practical. Explain the restraints so they were easier to understand and remember.
