A Statement from our Director
At Tidal, we take great pride in delivering fit-for-purpose, original and pioneering courses. A perfect example of this is our suite of Suicide Awareness and Rescue from Ligature training courses. This is original content devised and created by our specialist team at Tidal. We brought these combined courses to the market 5 years ago. Much has moved on since then particularly in respect of mental health and suicide awareness. That’s why it’s important to choose a training provider that genuinely knows, understands and delivers deep, meaningful and engaging training that genuinely adds value, raises knowledge and standards of awareness and understanding. All of our trainers teaching these courses are highly experienced professionals with recognised qualifications who complete ongoing CPD in these subjects.
As one of our clients said to me recently “Beware of cheap imitations. This is not the sort of training we can afford to get wrong”

Testimonial
I just wanted to let you know that your tutor came to deliver our training today. It was excellent training. He tailored it to our needs and the young person’s needs in particular. The tutor facilitated the training in a way that generated discussion amongst our staff team, let it flow and inputted when required.
I have passed on my compliments in person but just thought I would let you know as well.
This is really excellent training that I will pass on to other agencies should they have a need like we do.
