The Health and Safety Group Reviews

The course content focused too much on sections that were not directly applicable to us. The trainer spent too much time and went into too much detail on terrorism, child safeguarding and self defence and not enough time on adult safeguarding, mental health etc. No time was spent on incident reporting which would have been more useful. The trainer stood at the front talking and very few slides were used or shown so it was difficult to maintain interest. A couple of videos were shown that were quite dated. Generally I do not feel the training was useful.

Good

The trainer brought up examples that made the participants uncomfortable, like frequently mentioning a sexual assault case and female genital mutilation. he made a lot of generalizations of protected groups and said autistic people need more time to think and processes information. He wasn’t knowledgeable of models and processes of safeguarding practices and heavily relied on audience input. He admitted he wasn’t familiar with the presentation slides and was going off of his own experiences. He skipped the slides that covered safeguarding in higher education to a group of participants who work in higher education.

Overall, the session did not meet my expectations. The trainer appeared to have limited knowledge of some key areas, and the content wasn’t tailored to a higher education environment. Several important elements were skipped entirely, such as boundaries with students in the workplace, which is essential for our teams. When questions were asked, the trainer often appeared unsure and tended to give unclear or inaccurate answers rather than acknowledging when he didn’t know something. This made it difficult to feel confident in the information being delivered. I believe the trainer would benefit from further development before facilitating future sessions, especially for a group with specialist responsibilities.

Very good trainer

This was bastardised training aimed at adult social care. The presenter, as lovely as he is, didn’t know how to engage with educators or didn’t know much about the HE sector. This was not relevant and low quality.

Not relevsnt as nhs and we are academia. Slides were allhealth care and not relevant. Content needs work for education

Old information instructors is laughing with no reason No additional knowledge were added Used clinical examples were used last year Unprofessional showing back injury

Great

The training was an excellent and satisfactory.
