Bond Solon Reviews

Overall this was a highly informative module, that provided an excellent addition to the other modules in the CUBS Criminal Certificate. It would, however, have benefited from some more interesting learning activities. The content for this module is quite dry and two days is a long time to sit in front a screen just listening. Although some anecdotes and worked examples were provided, more creative pedagogies would have made the content much more engaging.

The course was excellent, a little detail heavy but that's law! The trainer was knowledgeable, engaging and responsive and the materials were high quality. Highly recommended

Very important course, which aims to guide structured statement / report writing, understanding critiquing of a report and how to scrutinise for integrity. The trainer has vast knowledge and uses a good range of examples for illustrations. The length of the course could be shorter, for virtual learning, it is easy to get distracted when training goes beyond 2hrs even with breaks. If this was a face to face training going over 2hrs, it is easier to manage and keep focused.

We had a very knowledgeable trainer and a good mix of students. However few suggestions from my side. 1. An expensive course like this should have multidisciplinary faculty including doctors, safeguarding professionals and legal professionals. 2. To add more variety in teaching with audio-visuals. 3. It will be good to create real life scenarios.

Courses like this are always preferable in person however Nick did an excellent job of keeping the group engaged despite the challenges of the online format. Very informative and will definitely improve my practice.

Geraint is an interesting person which made it easy to pay attention. There was a slight lack in structure with no PP etc. However, this is not neccessarily a negative point as most training is now deemed as 'death by PP' .Geraint was able to create a relaxed environment with audience participation, which made it helpful to retain the information. A summary at the end of training would have been great with reflection on the questions that were asked but I'm aware that time was not on our side due to starting the training late, which was no fault of Geraints. I look forward to the next session and hope that the training is offered to the wider workforce is due course.

I enjoyed the course which went surprisingly quickly for an all day course on line. The practical case study exercises were directly relevant to my role and the feedback from the trainer was extremely helpful.

The length and time on Teams is really heavy - it could do with being broken up

Really good course. Difficult to complete over teams - probably more tiring than it would have been in person, however I understand the difficulties of in-person training for this sort of course. Sue was really informative, and her knowledge and passion for upholding the human rights of vulnerable people was absolutely what we needed.

Really enjoyable course. Interesting and informative - made me think differently when it comes to deling with conflict.
