What others have said about the course:

There is a lot of content, as you'd expect, but Andy helps us navigate it with ease - Davina

Safeguarding training can feel like a tickbox exercise, but Andy reminded me how essential it is - James

I really appreciated how Andy was able to apply the theory to my particular situation - Suzy

* Assessment takes the form of an individual discussion with the instructor at a mutually agreed date (usually within a few days of the course delivery, but no more than 3 weeks after the first day of course delivery) - this usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on course numbers and other factors.
