Reviews

What people who’ve taken our courses say:

  • Clear, concise, digestible segments made it easy to follow. The examples specific to the creative sector and downloadable templates were so helpful - thank you!

  • I received detailed information I did not previously have. It was important to learn more about the different forms of abuse, particularly those that can be hidden or not obvious. I feel better equipped to handle any concerns in my context.

  • I really liked the variety and depth of information, also the opportunity to test knowledge throughout and apply to my own professional setting. The case studies and examples linking it to Museums were so helpful.
