Testimonials

"The Sixth Form at Woodroffe have been fortunate enough to have Vanessa visit annually for the past 5 years. Vanessa is an excellent orator who engages brilliantly with the students. Her common-sense approach and kindness play a big part in these Safeguarding talks which are without a doubt one of the most important talks of the year for our Sixth Form students. Her talks are considered vital for preparing the students for their lives beyond Woodroffe".
"Over the course of many years, Vanessa has delivered exceptional safeguarding training to our staff here at Castle Court School. Safeguarding is a critical and often sensitive subject, and therefore the challenge lies in delivering comprehensive, vital information without overwhelming participants. Vanessa has always managed this balance with remarkable skill. She has an in depth subject knowledge, based on her own experiences within the police but also as a result of keeping up to date with the latest legislation and national guidance. Her unique presentation style is warm and personable and she uses appropriate, light-hearted humour to maintain engagement, lighten the mood during discussions of difficult topics, and create a safe and comfortable environment where participants feel at ease. The biggest compliment I can pay Vanessa is that staff always look forward to her sessions. I would highly recommend her to any organisation requiring professional development in this area".
