“An enormous thanks for your work.  Our pastoral staff was rightly exhausted but very much powered-up by the two days training.  They now want regular meetings as a group where they avoid admin and focus on common problems and handling children’s issues – you made them into a team which was one of my desired outcomes!  Crucially, you have given them clear guidance on when to ‘let go’ and send for the experts” – Senior Deputy
