"E-learning was a totally new experience to me and to be honest I was a bit apprehensive as I do not see myself as very computer literate. However I found the course was very easy to follow and the format made learning a pleasure. It was great to be able to fit the course around my diary and I would recommend it to anyone."

"Andrea Embleton our 100,000th learner from Northumberland Tyne and Wear Health Trust"

"The online course has been hugely successful and in just 18 months we have trained over 2000 people which is far more than we could have reached with face-to-face training."

"Claire Seymour - Training Co-ordinator, South Tees Local Safeguarding Children Board"

"I am delighted with the Basic Awareness of Child Abuse and Refresher training material we now have access to through the Safeguarding Children e-Academy."

"Dave Herring - Head of East Riding Safeguarding Children Board"

"The online courses have released our specialist trainers so they can concentrate on front line professionals."

"Pauline Beall Business Manager, Stockton-on-Tees LSCB"

"To date we have trained over 2000 people, a feat that would have taken 4 years if we had relied on using previous method of face-to-face."

"Paul Hill - Manager of Bradford Safeguarding Children Board"

"We trained 11,000 staff last year for less than £1 each!"

"Robin Harper-Coulson, Children's Workforce Development Co-ordinater"
