Testimonials

Ian used his personal experiences to present the course, which was ver powerful and thought provoking. This should be essential training training for all foster carers. The standard set today was excellent.

The most useful part of the course today was Ian’s real life examples, including the lost child in the supermarket, very powerful and helps you understand how a foster child may feel when experiencing trauma. This would be a really good course for carers pre-panel to understand how looked after children differ from birth children.

What I found most useful about the course was the group work, the videos, the case studies and Ian personal stories (especially this). I loved Ian’s passion for the subject in what he is teaching.

The most useful things about the course today is the way it was broken up with the use of visual aids and with group work. Ian is brilliant, thank you very much!
