We commissioned O'Neill Training Solutions to initially deliver a couple of two day courses for us, and the excited and positive feedback we received from participants was amazing! It is training that creates a buzz and changes practice! We have since commissioned further training from Dawn at OTS. Some of the comments from participants were: "A professional and knowledgeable facilitator” “Really enjoyed your style, Dawn, so totally different - I will be recommending you" "One of the best courses I have been on in a long while" “Brilliant and engaging, took me out of my comfort zone"

Diane Calverley

Kirklees Learning & Organisational Development Team

“I hired Dawn at very short notice to deliver a series of Safeguarding events for one of my oldest clients. The contract was very important to me, as the local authority had always delivered the course internally prior to us being given the opportunity in February 2014. I needn't have worried! Dawn was very professional in her approach, bonded with the client immediately, and quite frankly performed beyond my expectations. Dawn covered for another Associate Trainer of mine who had taken ill, but whenever I get the chance to offer her work in future, I will, without hesitation."

Paulytheridan

“Dawn has a huge measure of personal integrity and emotional intelligence. Her understanding of the mechanics and benefits of staff supervision and how these can be exported to other areas is ground breaking and well worth commissioning. She will deliver a bespoke high-quality training with supporting materials."
