1st Enabled Ltd
Thank you very much Empeiria Training - the feedback from all who attended has been excellent across the team (and that is not always the case when I put training together!) so I'm really pleased that we've got this over the line. We're already reviewing some of our key cases where neurodiversity is a factor, looking at them with fresh eyes and assessing what we can do differently - which is exactly what I wanted. Please pass on my thanks to your expert by experience and your colleagues.

The training given was highly informative and will be put go great use within my role at 1st Enable. The trainer made us all feel at ease and encouraged us to use real scenarios and experiences that we feel that the training could be put to use and how it could be used to improve life for the people we support. It is training like this that really enables us to do the best for the people we support.

The PBS training delivered was very insightful and very useful for all staff members. The class was well presented and entertaining. We were very invested and engaged at all the information presented as everyone gained a clearer understanding on the situations they face regarding challenging behaviour. I highly recommend PBS training.

I think the safeguarding training that Empeiria provide is brilliant, all other safeguarding training that i have attended has been the standard training, Empeiria's Training is really detailed which helps us to really understand why we do what we do, what has happened in the past and the importance of following the safeguarding process.

The moving and handling training was very informative; the trainer went out of her way to ensure she went through any scenario's that we had and how we might be able to safely move people if these situations happen again in the future.
