Testimonial from our virtual delivery
‘The training was superb. It made us reflect as a school what we have in place and working and what we need to review. The quality of the presentation and delivery was excellent. The opportunity to pause and share views and feedback was well planned for and the pace ideal. The information on the slides was clear and gave us food for thought. We have actioned points, updated the website, and sent information for the parents…can I book for 2022! Highly recommend it’. (Head teacher, Granville Primary School, Wandsworth, September 2021)
Testimonial from our face-to-face delivery
‘The safeguarding training that we received was both informative and engaging, delivered by two outstanding practitioners. I have no doubt that after this training the staff have not only been informed of the vital importance of good safeguarding practice, but also the impact on our school, which will undoubtedly be a safer place because of this. Thank you for such clear, succinct and helpful training’ (Deputy Head Teacher, All Saints Carshalton, October 2022)
‘The training educated our team on the legal and legislative changes to safeguarding procedures. It also updated our team on the safeguarding resources that are available to them. Thank you for delivering such a valuable session and for answering all our questions’ (Staff member, Sutton The Change Foundation, April 2023)
‘As usual the training was fantastic and thank you for the slides. Everyone will receive them with their certificates. I will be in touch, probably after March, so that we can do the Trustee training again. H said it was ‘the best Safeguarding training she had ever had’, this is high praise from a retired lawyer.’ (Designated Safeguarding Lead, Sutton The Change Foundation, January 2024)
‘Hayley spoke online at the evening care leaver event I attended alongside her as a speaker. Her story was extremely powerful, and she kept the audience engaged throughout the whole delivery. She spoke with such heart, and even as someone who had limited experience within the care system in any capacity, I was so moved by her experience. I would strongly suggest working with her and allowing her to share her story’ (Author, Speaker and Self-help Coach, April 2024).

Testimonial from DSL Supervision
‘With the bespoke supervision I think it has enabled our team to open up a bit more about the stressors and challenges for them – particularly given some of the very complex cases we have had this year. Whilst the other supervision was useful, our team always found that our issues were always quite different from those in mainstream and therefore we learnt more from the discussions which each other.
We also all found these sessions to be much more of a support for each other, giving us time allocated to stop and reflect on issues and the impact of some of our more complex cases. To have this time allocated just for our team was found to be a real support and opportunity/time to share and resolve issues. We would struggle without this support now’ (Head of Strategy and Pastoral Support, Sutton, August 2024)
