"I really enjoyed the training , and found it interesting. The course was delivered to a high standard and the tutor really understood the topic. The course really helped me see through a different lense and I feel I understand 'attachment driven behaviours' a little more and feel more confident in apporaching and supporting the emotional well-being of my pupils. Even understood myself a little more, would definatley recommend this to all teachers."
