Sirius Social Care Training Reviews 78

This was excellent training and gave a comprehensive overview of Form F training in a day, while also leaving me feeling well equipped to take on the assessments. The trainer also gave some helpful advice on getting work as a Form F assessor. I would highly recommend this training (done via Zoom, Feb 2021).

Really good quality materials received before hand including a copy of the Handbook as well as useful exemplars, case studies and a social work toolkit.
Really good, engaging training day - balance of activities with opportunities for peer learning, exploration, application, analysis and reflection. I would thoroughly recommend this course and provider

Excellent training session. Even though it was via Zoom it was very interactive and I learned a lot both from Shaun (trainer) and also the other trainees; new ideas and things I can put into practice in my assessments. Will definitely be recommending to colleagues.

The tutor was very knowledgeable and the course very informative. The documentation revived for the course was very detailed and useful in understanding Form F assessing. The tutor was able to answer all questions posed. I'm glad I did the course.

Excellent training - it was delivered exceptionally well. It exceeded all of my expectations as it was informative, allowed suitable reflection and partnership working with other trainees. We all pitched in at various points when looking at case studies or snippets from a well known Netflix series as well as reflecting on key lessons from serious case reviews.

I would recommend to every social worker as it not only provides the foundation for how to complete a form f assessment robustly but also allows for fine tuning of any current fostering assessors who already work within this remit.

This was really informative. Straight to the point and in-depth. Covering every aspect and more!! An excellent day

The most enjoyable training I have had for many years. Maintained interest throughout and the trainer was approachable and interactive at the right times managing the group well also. Highly recommended.

Fabulous training! Great resources provided and very skilled and experienced trainer. I feel equipped and ready to carry out Form Fs
Lots of good dialogue in the workshop that made it very interesting.

The trainer was great, the pace of the delivery made it easy for me to follow and assimilate all information.

Though virtual, it was inclusive.
The information provided prior to the training was very helpful.
A good training expereince.

The trainer was excellent. Really pleased with the intro to others. Good pace and easy to understand. Came out of the training feeling confident. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Course achieved what i was expecting. I enjoyed very much listening to others perspectives and their knowledge. Very interesting working with different people from a range of backgrounds and roles.
I did,nt think it would work with so many people, but i was pleasantly surprised how well it did work.
I learnt alot and particularly how important it was to undertake a robust assessment covering all areas of family backgrounds even if you think it not important, also to research intersted parties and identify and look into issues that appear relavent so that Panels are able to see that all areas are well covered and assessed, for example, sexual abuse in the family, ascertain whether this has been addressed and whether you feel there are any risks to their fostering role, being open and honest about whether you feel any applicants should not continue to be assessed. At the forefront of the assessment are the children they will be caring for in the future.

very informative, easy to understand, engaging and with a good range of materials for us to view. Many Thanks Shaun you made Saturday online training interesting!

My experience of the training was extremely useful, informative. It challenged me and reminded me of the need for critical thinking skills as a practitioner.
It greatly supported and enhanced my skills in analysis: to ask questions and more questions, to explore and take notes accordingly.
Moreover I was reminded of that the needs of the child remain paramount and to balance that with the care which a potential foster carer can offer the foster child.

Brilliant training and very engaging and informative. Thank you

I thoroughly enjoyed this training, it was a good combination of group interaction via zoom and clear concise delivery from the trainer.

Excellent on-line training. Well structured and delivered. I would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Relaxed and informal and delivered at a good pace. Case studies were useful and the facilitator gave time for everyone to contribute.
Enjoyable and really informative day that was quite empowering.

This was a very well organised and facilitated course. The materials needed were sent by email and post well in time for these to be studied. The course itself was full of interest, participative and done at a pace that all could follow. There was a real feeling of being and working together, even though this was on Zoom.
The facilitator (Shaun) was obviously experienced in both fostering and training, Well done and thanks to him
