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.

I enjoyed the course.Ben was approachable and engaging. He kept me interested across the 3 days. He made the course insightful and delivered it in insightful way. I was aware of some of the contents covered in the course but it was good to hear it in a different format and also to refresh my knowledge. The restraint skills really surprised me as I thought they would be much harder to carry out. I feel confident that I could use the holds in my role.

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.

I really enjoyed the course! I was able to learn lots of new info and ask questions when i was unsure about anything. The training has helped me to learn effective ways of managing behaviour and ways to get out of holds

I found this course extremely helpful on the leading up to RI, and it can be prevented and the safe way of restraint for both the resident and myself.
