"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."

"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"

"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"
