Testimonials and comments

If you want an educator and trainer whose practice is ethical and to the highest of standards, then Ros is the person for you. Her workshops are highly organized, prepared, and full of fun with inspirational material offering endless opportunities for learners of differing abilities and skills. I plan to use her recent materials on equalities in my next social work training session as professionals in the field can never have too much current information to better prepare them for everyday practice. To give you some idea of the caliber of the person Ros is read her book on Anti-discriminatory Practice.

Observation, Assessment and Planning

I have had feedback from a couple of participants who are new to their setting and found the course really useful and it has really helped them to feel more confident about their own abilities even though they are relatively new to completing observations. The exercise where you had some poor examples of observations really helped consolidate what should be in an observation and made them realise that they are adding what is needed to their observations and that they should feel more confident.
