Bond Solon Reviews

Certainly learnt a lot from this course, a lot more than I knew before hand. Financial investigation has always been a 'dry' subject for me, but I do feel the trainers broke down my perception. I do now have a far greater grasp of legislation around Money Laundering. The 'smaller' group work helped with this understanding.

Overall a very insightful presentation.

Bob and Paul were experienced and knowledgeable. The case studies were a bit slow but did the job in getting us thinking and talking. I think that s71 and r61 should be built into the discussions because we deal with these regularly. Thank you.

Bit too much time spent on SARS

Has deepened my understanding of the interfaces, clarified common pitfalls and reinforced importance of lawful, proportionate and rights based desicion making.

Very informative course, as a current AFI within the EA I think that the course is pitched in the right area for the EA criminalinvestigators

A was a little disappointed as I expected a more detailed exploration of the interface between the MHA and MCA and more importantly how this is likely to change with the new mental health act. I've participated in Bond Solon Training in the past and always viewed such events as the gold standard but sadly this doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Also it was billed to last from 9.30 to 5pm so I have been working from home with my managers permission.

I understand this is a pilot course so there was alot of discussion during the course around the content and what was / wasnt relevant which interrupted the flow of the course, particularly around the S71 notice issue. This will need to be included and at the outset excluded explicitly to avoid this discussion on further courses. There were a few technical issues with Bob's connection which made the flow of the course less than ideal. Clearly the instructors know the subject very well so once these issues are sorted it should flow alot better. For non FI's this course will give a good level of awareness about ML and procedures to be followed.

Felt this moved from basic to more advanced without a lot of explanation in the subject. Trainer wasnt confident or clear in explanations. Ended by 2.30pm when time could have been given to explore real life examples and generate group discussion. The constant move to break out rooms for 10 minutes when matters were discussed in about 2. I've attended bond solon courses historically and this was not the standard of delivery or content that used to be provided. Also no reference of any depth to the new MHA, matters like nominated person and how these will apply and when changes actually roll out would have been of benefit.

Wonderful course, definitely recommended. I will apply these structured reporting techniques to my daily clinical notes to ensure my decision-making is transparent and meets the expected standards of care. These skills are invaluable for improving professional accountability and the clarity of my communication with both clinical and legal audiences.
