Sherwood Training Reviews

Jack was informative, personable and responsive to the enquiries and requests of the team. His annecdotes made the theory feel familiar and digestible. The course itself was informative and I appreciated the links and references to reputable sources and research, which was reassuring and added to my feeling of competence.

Really important and relevant training.

Excellent knowledge and expertise from trainer. Very tailored and adaptable to our needs and school. Very friendly trainer who created sense of ease, considering we are learning physical interventions it could have felt uncomfortable but didn’t. Finished course feeling that I can support children appropriately and safely with restraint as last resort.

Informative, engaging and useful. Would be good if there was more reference to DofE guidance Restrictive interventions, including use of reasonable force, in schools Guidance for schools in England rather than predominantly social care settings. Would also be helpful if the workbook was updated to reflect all the slides as felt some of the key info was missing from the workbook. Generally brilliant course which will Inform practice going forward.

Fantastic course and great delivery. Gave us the opportunity to discuss our setting and its users as well as robust learning.

The support and detail through-out the course was amazing! The freedom for discussion of real situations in our setting was supported. Encouraged professional curiosity.

Kirsty was very informative, friendly and a wealth of knowledge.

Was super engaging, lots of brain breaks and a mix of heavy and light. Maybe have some more tasks that we can do ourselves.

Very informative with practical activities

Fantastic training, very knowledgeable and a very enjoyable relevant course
