We commissioned SaferNow to produce bespoke risk assessment frameworks and guidance for staff - we cannot praise their work highly enough! They took the time to understand the nuances of the work and produced exactly what we needed to an excellent standard.

We absolutely loved our two days with you, it was just perfect. In tone, content, pace, right on the money, so thank you. We appreciate it is far from straightforward dropping in to new places but the team have universally fed back how much they valued your input. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in.

This is the second training I have been on with Safernow, through being employed with WCC. I’ve found both training events really informative but also really engaging. Thank you!

The training was brilliant - it was great listening to others experiences and knowledge. I have also walked away learning about agencies out there to contact.

As ever - a brilliant blend of academic theory, experience and real-life case studies. Adding in legislative implications too. Perfect mix and really useful.

Sean was great, real life situations really honed in on the practice and principles of contextual safeguarding, he was happy to answer questions and go off on tangents where necessary. Thank you for a great training session.

People need this, your reflections and honest truths about what is happening for our young people. People don’t talk as candidly as you do, the case studies you use prove your points highlight how needed training like this is.

Such great and powerful sessions, it’s a great space to meet other professionals and skill share. Sean and the team are great and their experiences and knowledge inspire me.

Karen and Sean are both brilliant public speakers - they are clearly so knowledgeable and create a really comfortable and safe reflective space whilst keeping an audience captivated for a full days training - not an easy task!

Brilliantly led training with both facilitators being very kind, open and reflective. Felt very much like a reflective practice session which really brought it to life with the modelling being done.

I think that the training has been world class, Sean. Very engaging although harrowing and a balance of real life knowledge and experience together with academic and professional informative direction.
