Bond Solon Reviews

Rhoda was very engaging and was very good at keeping peoples attention. I found it very helpful when she kept referring to actual cases that she has been involved in. Rhoda's background as both prosecution and defence lawyer was really beneficial as she gave us advice on the type of things defence would ask/look for. I do think that this course should be mandatory for all officers as I think it would be very beneficial for all officers in the case team as reasonable lines of enquiry examples were covered. Its also good for the case team to be aware how important input from the case team is within the disclosure process and how they can assist the disclosure officer.

The quantity of material provided as part of the pre-course reading was excessive. Then during the course, it was not feasible to read the digital forensic strategy in 20 minutes and formulate comments on it. Minimal real-life case studies for HMRC cases - while the police cases were fascinating, it would be good to have more practical HMRC examples of disclosure issues in practice. Rhoda and Emma were incredibly engaging and knowledgeable, and it made a very dry subject very enjoyable. I appreciated the flexibility of the course, and when there were conversation topics we needed to discuss as a group, the day's plans were shuffled to allow it.

Very good course. I liked the way the core principles were explored first before delving into the Fluctuating capacity case law. If anything, the case law felt a bit rushed and there may have been benefit on having these cases unfold throughout the day rather than at the end.

Excellent trainer (Nick Deal) with a very measured, understandable and relatable approach to covering topics.

Great preparation for the real thing - I now feel more confident if I get called to deliver evidence as an expert witness

Excellently run by Kath she kept everybody engaged and allowed a safe space to learn and ask questions.

Absolutely helpful, especially the role play at the end of the session—it really brought everything together and made the learning practical and engaging. The level of knowledge and expertise demonstrated throughout Witness Skills for Courts, Inquiries & Tribunals – Witness Familiarisation was outstanding, and the guidance provided was clear, relevant, and directly applicable to real-life situations. I left feeling much more confident and better prepared.

Exceeded all expectations - very great. Recommended to my friend outside my organisation to enrol as well.

Excellent course. Informative and interesting. Trainer was highly knowledgeable

Thoroughly enjoyable training experience. Lots of knowledge to take on board and will require a lot of reflective thought. Several colleagues also joined the training, I will look forward to discussing further with the team. Breaks were adequately provided.
