Talking and listening are of paramount importance to us. By sharing knowledge and expertise, we learn from best practice, build networks and strengthen relationships. These conversations help us understand how we can support one another, identify gaps and work together to address them through improved services and appropriate care.
We have longstanding, strong relationships with many organisations across our sector. Sometimes, the most valuable way we can support a partner is through guidance, mentorship or training. These activities often spark new ideas and creative approaches to working together.

TESTIMONY FROM PARTICIPANTS of UK Visa and Immigration Policy Team Training:
“Thank you, I feel a lot more confident in handling/ advising on MLRs and more knowledgeable”
“I will no longer be cynical when looking at MLRs, meeting/speaking with the foundations has really opened my eyes. The interactive parts were really helpful - produced healthy debates and helped clarify some points of confusion”
TESTIMONY FROM PARTICIPANTS of Trauma-Focussed Therapy Training for Specialist NHS Therapists:
“Found the trainers fantastic. Very helpful, compassionate and cheerily confident and skilled in relation to trauma focussed therapies and treatment of trauma. Really feel more confident to work with complex trauma cases. Really liked how active the training was, rather than over use of powerpoint.”
“The practices/experiential components were very helpful. Fran and Sam were very approachable and their enthusiasm was inspiring.”
“The practical experience and the simultaneous feedback as we practiced were very helpful - it brought the concepts to life and brought more learning out. Usually I hate role play but these and the videos were so helpful.”
“A very good balance between theoretical input and practice/experiential pieces. Very relatable and can see myself putting the trauma focussed model into practice”
