  • An amazing 2 days, with expert trainers who explained everything clearly and weren't phased by anything! RLB Safeguarding should be very proud of their course and trainers. I would recommend the Level 5 course to anyone. Well done and thank you.

    Medical Services Team Leader - Silverstone Circuits Limited

  • RLB Safeguarding completely met my expectations and made a 'challenging' subject enjoyable, I would highly recommend this course, irrespective of which industry you work in.

    Head of Quality

  • Rachael just delivered the best DSL course I have ever attended. After a few years in the role, it sometimes feels like the DSL courses can be very similar and have very little value. RLB's Level 4 DSL course was very thought provoking and it allowed us to network and share our experiences while Rachael amazingly facilitated the session and shared her extensive knowledge. I've already recommended it!

    Head of Safeguarding

  • The best safeguarding training I've attended. Really engaging and thought provoking. Rachael's knowledge and passion is so inspiring.

    Safeguarding Manager, The Air Ambulance Service

  • The course exceeded my expectations. This was the best training I have attended- engaging, relevant and I gained knowledge and ideas to implement. Looking forward to working with RLB again!
