Please state any ways you think this course could be improved next time?

• Impossible to improve 10/10
• Impossible to improve, excellent! I thirst for more!
• An excellent trainer, relevant to my work, needs to be longer or a follow up
• It would be beneficial for it to be longer to enable participants to practice the approach more or follow-up once we have started to use the programme.
• Course brilliant, best I’ve ever attended, will have a big impact on my work
• Informative & powerful training essential for practitioners doing direct work with children & families
• Course excellent, given me much to take away & put into everyday practice
• Don’t think it can get better as it was a brilliant course & very interesting, always getting you to think about how to change practice
• Brilliant I feel confident to use brief therapy immediately with my clients
• Only way it could be improved is to be more intensive, brilliant, thank you
• Course was delivered in a fantastic way, which promoted learning, confidence, expression & positive thinking
• This has been the most exciting course I have ever attended. It has switched the light on for a new train of thought. The entire 3 days has given idea’s on an approach that is so simple but incredibly effective, this has brought back the incentive to go to work

How relevant was this course for your practice & what have you learnt that you will take back and apply at work?

• Extremely relevant – to look at the positives, no matter how small they are, to enable client & family to reach their own aims.
• I will take everything back and implement in my practice
• This course was very relevant to my work in the assessment team.
• Very relevant – the most important thing I have learned is to look at the solution rather than the problem, to raise families expectations of what they can achieve [change], to perceive and use the use the family members as ‘the experts’ and to focus on the positives.
• Essential & dynamic model of practice focusing on strengths & moving forward.
• Everything I learned is relevant, it has made me aware of the importance of small change & reinforced that my role is to participate in the solution not the problem.
• Very relevant. Sometimes our practice focuses too much on the problem & negatives rather than the positives
• Totally different, jargon-free approach, effective and produces results. I can see the benefits on a personal level too.
