I thought this was excellent training. As a Headmaster, I am involved in Child Protection cases in the school. Whilst I was confident of the frameworks, etc, this training was very reassuring. Well done. Alexander Mitchell, Headmaster, Holmwood House School

This information was very new to me. It has opened my eyes and given me insight into things I always took for granted. It was very useful and informative and comes at an opportune moment for me since I am just starting at a Secondary School.
