Bond Solon Reviews

Really good trainer and content - very informative and helpful.

I am clearer of the intended audience, however this course needs a change in approach. It has to help change the culture of the DO and the role, otherwise more officers will back off from doing this role. As is stands from the course it seems like everything has fallen down because of the DO, this is a team event and not just the DO. Maybe some sessions on disclosure strategies like, a detailed strategy on dealing with digital material when you have multiple devices and defendants. Some discussion on LPP as a reminder. This is an excellent opportunity to make the DO even better publicised, and make more officers want to do the job.

The concept of the course is really valuable to give people conducting the DO role an opportunity to explore the issues that they may experience and will have to deal with. It is a good opportunity to drill down to key risks in Disclosure that HMRC have identified. This could be focussing on key strategies that cause issues for Disclosure e.g. relevance, digital, material held by HMRC, sensitive material. The conference on the strategy session on day one if managed could really explore each of these. More use of all the group in all of the sessions (like day 3) would be beneficial - keep people engaged an occupied.

The course provided a lot of information around the section 8 process, and is really good at providing CPS expectations. There are some areas that are a bit repetitive, and also some cross over with other training.

This training was useful in developing my knowledge around the law in relation to safeguarding and understanding what underpins safeguarding policy. It has helped me to identify areas of improvement within my organisation which I will take back and implement. The focus on participation meant that I learned a lot from other course participants. Sue was a fantastic trainer, clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject area. I would highly recommend this course to others working in the safeguarding field.

Sue Inker is an excellent presenter. The information is relatable and extremely interesting and relevant. There is lots of interesting material given for after the course which will continue to increase my knowledge. I will definitely recommend the course to colleagues. My organisation has recognised the importance of personal development and placed several colleagues on the next course.

Sue has a profound knowledge of the subject and her passion for improving practice was infectious. The study materials were excellent. It came highly recommended and I can see why. It's fascinating to hear from a lawyer about the legal basis and practicalities of safeguarding. The highlight for me was relating it all back to first principles of human rights law.

The overall very good course/training.

Excellent course with a good pace. extremely informative. Thank you

All excellent thank you. Great course, lots of content but lots of time for questions. Would have been great to have a practical court session in the afternoon as well if time had allowed.
