Excellent Homelessness Training!!

The homelessness training today has truly been educational as well as inspirational. Mike's delivery of the training content was very easy to follow, a lot of examples through case studies and interactive group work- perfectly organised. Going forward, I will definitely recommend my colleagues to join his training programmes and I will surely follow him as he has a wealth of experience that we can all benefit from.

Introduction to Homelessness Law -Time well spent

Mike delivered the content in a very professional way. Covered the essential content and included all relevant links for further reading. Loved the extra element of interaction through the team breakout sessions. Perfect level of detail for a days training. I will definitely look to expand on the knowledge learned through the further reading and booking on further courses.

It was online but interactive. I came away feeling much more confident about the whole process. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to understand how it all works.
Mike is an encyclopedia of knowledge.

The shows starts on time and ends on…

The shows starts on time and ends on time. It contains some fantastic advice and information, to help support and advocate for the most vulnerable individuals in society. Relevant to probably every council in the UK, highlighting the gatekeeping tatics and how to manouverve and advocate for a better service.
Brilliant!

Mike knows his stuff

Mike knows his stuff! Excellent resources that will become 'go to' guides for the future. I left with a much greater knowledge on homelessness applications, priority need, local connection and intentionality. I feel better equipped to support my staff who advocate for our guests. The day was certainly full on, but that's just an indication of the complexity involved in these issues.

The training excelled my expectations.

The training excelled my expectations. Homeless Law is a minefield for referrals and for an individual finding themselves where they are, or going to be, homeless. Mike Hyden presented the training in such a way that it all started to make sense. His training style really works. Resources excellent. I can’t recommend this course enough. Thank you Mike.

An outstanding training

An outstanding training. The trainer Mike Hyden had excellent presentation skills, and the subject matter was presented in an informative, factual and sensitive way. Brilliant course materials were sent by post prior to the training which was very useful.
I would recommend this training to anyone interested in Homelessness Law through their work, volunteering roles, or personal situations.

Great training

Even though I have a background in social housing, I found this training course very beneficial. Mike is very knowledgeable and explains a complex area in a way that’s easy to understand. It was nice to network with others too.
