Feedback
Training was really good – I really liked that lots of different techniques were covered – it was as useful for me [clinical supervisor] as it was for PSWs9/10 Trainer was very good at talking through things as we went along
I feel I got a lot from this training, I found it useful both professionally and personally
Most things had a practical exercise attached to them – it helped me to apply things better
Thought Mat got all his points across in a very clear manner
Helped me think about the other ways I could work with our client group
