the course overall was good and its content was well structured, i think the trainer was engaging and made the day course interesting as well being able to answer questions for us. i feel that the material is enough to educate us but i do still feel that some breakaways are not included or do not offer appropriate safety, such as the rear naked choke.
Response: Hi James. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I believe that the technique you are referring to is a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) move. I think it is important to recognise that we are training staff in your organisation to work with young people who are victims of abuse and trauma and therefore the breakaway skills we teach are suitable for this population. If you have any further questions around this, it may be worth speaking to your line manager who I am sure will reassure you that the young people in your organisation all have individual risk assessments and positive behaviour support plans which identify their needs.
Really good peer discussions talking about experiences with pupils.
I liked the interactive parts and discussions. I struggle with just lots of PowerPoint slides
The trainer is well versed in in the exercises and the sequence. Was explaining eloquently. Very supportive when helping too
I thought the training was thought provoking. As a mental health nurse working in an acute paediatric setting, challenging negative beliefs is something I often have to do. This training certainly helps in doing that. I do think a tailored version for paediatrics is necessary, their was a few things that were only applicable to Adult nursing.
The morning session involved lots of discussion around learners and the school's ethos. However, I personally benefit from recapping the key elements of the original training. It felt more of a relaxed discussion as opposed to a learning a session. The afternoon session was great. Recapping all of the physical breakaways was really beneficial and helped me remember them should I need to use any in the near future. Overall, it was a great day day, thank you!
Response: Hi Charlie, thak you for taking the time to leave detailed feedback. A refresher is a day to cover anything that learners feel they want to look at and I am sure that your trainers will look into this in the future. I'm glad you had a great day overall!
