Reviewing County Lines
I thought the talks were really instructive and would have given a 5 star but one section was really long (30 minutes) and by the time I had watched them all, I struggled to remember some parts. It was good but the shorter sections sank in more. Regular assessment of leaning rather than one big one at the end would have helped. But I know a lot more than I did before and the presenter was clear and obviously knew what she was talking about.Mr G Thompson - Wolsingham School
Understanding County Lines in School - Review
Extremely comprehensive in both the realities of how to recognise situations and to also understand the terminologies used.

Prevention is better than the cure and this course delivered. Thank you.Jonathan Poon - Kingsdale Foundation School
