“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’." More

“We asked Sarah to draw up a tailor-made programme for us, with quite a challenging brief. This was to take as its central topic the chairing of child protection conferences, but to include standing members of conference and minute-takers as well as chairs, the training officer and the team manager. The level of experience of the group varied enormously, from some very experienced people who had been in post for a number of years to a police officer in his first month of working in the child protection field. She was asked within a one-day programme to encompass the training needs of all these participants in relation to conferences.The group found the day very helpful, and I would be happy to recommend Sarah as a trainer to anyone else in a similar situation."

“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." More
