Minimising Risk & Increasing Safety

Safeguarding Children Training

An excellent course on a difficult subject, that was delivered with a sense of fun and professionalism.

Safeguarding Children - Update

One of the most engaging “updates” I have had in years! Thank you. I found the safeguarding courses this time so much more engaging and useful than previous ones. Thank you for sharing your expertise and giving us a chance to network and learn from each other – it was really valuable.

Prior to their involvement, we hadn’t fully considered the extent to which safeguarding arrangements, using a more systemic approach, could be extended, thought about and implemented to help our staff, help our customers and provide increased personal safety for everyone involved.

 

Facilitation Feedback

Brilliant trainers, very engaging, covered everything everyone asked and adapted to all our needs and made it practical to each role.

Very adaptable and accommodating of our particular needs and work challenges.

Safeguarding course

This was led in a really good way – informative, everything I needed but led in a way that made it enjoyable and manageable. The best Safeguarding course I have done. Thank you.

 

 

 

OD Winner feedback

Because2’s work felt like a very tangible and purposeful intervention that grew from a single intervention into a wider piece of work with clear outputs.
This is such a crucial piece of organisational development work often unseen by the public in a delicate and high-profile aspect of
employment. From diagnosis with appropriate engagement to ensure buy-in and ownership through to implementation, with concrete impact with such a sustainable and spreadable solution. All of this makes it a stand-out nomination!

I’m leaving behind that safeguarding training is boring!
