Sherwood Training Reviews

Over a three-day period, a training session led by Nyumbani Handema covered various essential topics in care and support, focusing on behavior management and trauma-informed care. The training was well-received and considered helpful, as it provided practical strategies and theoretical understanding to enhance care quality. The topics included: 1. Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Interventions – Emphasizing preventive strategies and escalation responses to challenging behaviors. 2. Trauma-Informed Care – Understanding the impact of trauma on individuals and adapting care approaches accordingly. 3. Positive Behavior Support (PBS) and Legal Frameworks – Ensuring practices comply with legal standards while supporting residents' well-being. 4. Factors Affecting Behavior and the Arousal Model – Recognizing influences on behavior and managing emotional arousal levels. 5. Fundamental Attributional Errors – Addressing common biases that may impact the interpretation of residents' behavior. 6. Restrictive Physical Interventions and Breakaways – Learning safe and appropriate techniques for physical intervention when necessary. This structured training not only imparted knowledge but also included practical techniques that staff can apply in their roles, fostering a safer, more understanding environment for residents.

When supporting people whose behaviours may cause concern, our aim should be to increase their quality of life. The course content materials are well detailed, the trainer did a great job explaining and delivering them.

Jack really did his best In the theory and the practical part thank you

Jack was a great trainer. He made sure we understood the whole course. For the physical part of training he was absolute best because he showed us exactly how to move.
