• Course was delivered in a fantastic way, which promoted learning, confidence, expression & positive thinking

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.

Though I used the Solution Focused approach within my work to some extent already, the training has given me some specific tools to work with. Also the inspiration to develop the approach and apply it more consistently.

Nick Lamprey

The young people I work with can now choose a “silent interview” – this will improve engagement. I look forward to using this new approach. My mind did not wander once, I was enthralled.

Michelle Rafferty

Will use as a tool for Supervision, meeting and time management. Valuable content and engaging delivery.

Pauline Batstone

The training was absolutely brilliant, the trainer was charismatic and inspiring – she made a lot of sense and the examples showed what an impact the right work could have. We have all recommended the course to our colleagues who did not attend and have suggested it should be compulsory training.

Imogen Wright

Eileen offered an inspiring, thought provoking, interesting approach to working with families both professionally and personally. We need more training like this.

Jaine Davis

I have not attended such an enjoyable formative and “able to apply to practice without too much planning” training in a long while. The trainers were able to “capture” the audience and were very good communicators.

Wendi Maxwell

Interesting day. Thought provoking and useful ideas, lively and fun.

Karen Waters

It made a world of difference to have training both educational and fun at the same time. Confidently and clearly presented – I didnt “switch off”. I came away with new tools which I intend to share with the rest of the team and use with the families I work with. This training should be mandatory for all. The most relevant training I’ve been on, if not the best.

Fay Aherne

It was an eye opener! Really found it useful. Very thought provoking. Good pace and kept it relevant.
