Sherwood Training Reviews

I thought the course was excellent overall - content, resources, trainer/delivery, relevance, usefulness - all excellent. So much simpler and easier to learn than the likes of TEAM TEACH and the balance of theory and practical really supported the ethos of minimising restrictive practice. Hannah’s delivery is superb, a great balance of lightness and seriousness, which I feel allowed her to engage attendees that were anxious and previously hesitant. In terms of what can be improved, the presentation is a bit sterile/flat with a heavy emphasis on text. Many people in this industry are visual learners and the abundance of text, along with graphics that are very similar throughout makes it difficult to distinguish one slide from another and retain/recall that info. Varying that and introducing more graphics would really help (I think). Whilst I feel the model is so much more usable and applicable that TEAM TEACH, the flip side of being simpler (and less comprehensive) is that I’m left wondering if it covers all bases. I’m hopeful that’s because it’s the first time I’ve done it though and I just need to let it bed in.

Good

The trainer is superb . I have learnt that as carer, arousal model should be use in any situation and making restricts the last resort

Good

It's as best it can be really but wish we had to do it less often like maybe every 2/3 years rather than every year

Full of information, which could have been overwhelming, but was punctuated with examples and group participation, which held your attention and focus.

The training over all was very helpful and I feel more confident going into my role. Chantelle the trainer was super amazing with the way she delivered things and I would rate her more than 5 if I could

Wasn’t looking forward to coming to the course as it’s repeated every year but the morning was excellent with the information offered

Very useful course when applied appropriately

It's good to have a refresher on this just in case we ever need it.
