Testimonial
2018 – Nottingham- Care Provider
“May I just say that the self harm and ligature training yesterday was such an eye opener for myself and staff members. The information was very informative and accurate.
The tutor was so passionate which was displayed in the presentation. To be honest I didn’t want him to stop talking I wanted to learn more.
My staff and I reflect back on our own life’s and have learnt how to implement more empathy and understanding of people.
The demonstration on ligature cutting was fantastic all staff participated with confidence.
Again thank you so much for this opportunity.”
Thank you
