“Susannah’s training skills and knowledge have enabled us to have a positive experience as co-trainers, delivering the Effective Care Co-ordinators’ Training course (ECC). This focused on the Safeguarding Children element. Kim Haste and I have both found the sessions enjoyable and rewarding. Susannah has a flexible approach towards both learners and ourselves as co-trainers, and is always willing to address any additional needs as they arise. Susannah’s background in mental health and domestic violence and child advocacy enables her to bring both an historic and current specialist understanding of safeguarding children and a degree of realism to the training room. The success of the ECC Training course has been demonstrated in the consistently positive comments we have had on our feedback and evaluation forms, and the agreement from Care Coordinators who have attended the course about the importance of applying this new knowledge and awareness of safeguarding responsibilities in their working practices.” Karen Dobson – Senior Nurse Safeguarding Children – 5 Boroughs NHS Trust

“We were having a tough term and the staff were tired and frustrated. The Safeguarding Children Training was a wonderful reminder as to why we get up in the morning. Sarah’s delivery was innovative and engaging; it not only helped us refocus on ‘the child’ but also brought us closer together as a team. Working with children with Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties can be very stressful and I think it’s all too easy to accept situations in the young people’s lives. Sarah’s training helped us to decide to tackle some difficult problems which, in the long run, will ensure the safety of our pupils. Sarah’s knowledge and expertise in Safeguarding Children and her enthusiasm in sharing these has given a new burst of energy to our commitment to care for our pupils and keep them ‘whole’.” Julie Taylor – Waterloo Lodge

“Sarah Goodall delivered an excellent introduction course to the foster carers of Blackburn last year. It was a seven week course in which all seven Modules were explained and many anecdotes used as illustrations. We were also encouraged to participate with our own stories and experiences and Sarah used games and ice breakers to join us together as a group. From this training, another carer and I have cascaded the information down to other carers by teaching on our own training courses and they are on-going and very successful as each group formed now meets socially in addition to and after their course. We are very grateful to Sarah for her hard work in preparation and ensuring all standards are fully covered, evidenced and met. I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah for any training position/course that she is invited to teach.” Chris Catherall - Foster Carer Blackburn With Darwen
