What our clients say:

  • The trainer was very professional, timely and efficient – she was clearly experienced and confident.

    All workers who attended benefited from the mixture of information giving / role play / & handouts to read and absorb once the training was finished. Following the training staff felt more familiar with the principles and the basics of MI conversations.

    We would recommend Interface to other organisations.

    Principal Social Worker, Bracknell Forest Council

  • Interface were very flexible in meeting our organisation’s needs. The trainer’s style was particularly effective in holding, supporting and gently challenging staff during a period of significant change and subsequent uncertainty. Her training style is clear, warm, appropriately challenging and encourages reflection. She has fed back regularly to managers on any wider issues that have been raised during the training and that we should be considering which is particularly helpful. Feedback from participants has been consistently positive about the quality of the delivery of the training.

    Kirsten Carr, Early Help Transformation and Impact Manager (London Borough of Haringey)

  • It was very comprehensive. The course was adapted as it progressed. The trainer great at thinking on her feet and amending course content.

    Learner on Staff Support and Supervision Course

  • Interface carried out an evaluation of our Early Help services. We were particularly impressed with the range of skills and experience across the team and the way they liaised with family members and professionals. Also, the regular communication and management of the process.

    The team were very flexible and the report was well written in plain English.
    We were very pleased with the evaluation and the reports will inform our service development and practice.

    Ruth Beecher, Service Manager, Early Help for Families (Islington)

  • The overall quality and structure of the training programme was really good, it had a clear schedule and outline of activities at the beginning of each training day so we all knew exactly what to expect.

    Learner, Level 4 Working with Children, Individuals and Families

  • Super training. Really made me think about my approach and the way with work with children and families. This should be mandatory training across the partnership. The trainer was fantastic at supporting us and really knowledgeable about the subject area. Thank you!

    Brighter Futures for Children, Learner

  • Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to undertake this course. It is hands down the most interesting and thought-provoking training I have ever experienced. The trainer was amazing and whilst I accept that as a non-professional I may well be getting more from this than others I could see everyone had lots to take away and reflect on.
    Brilliant!

    Learner - Baby, Child and Teenage Brain Development course

  • Fantastic case studies, excellent!!! About the trainers – I loved the use of their own examples encountered through their own work.

    Learner on Intensive Family Support and the Role of the Key Worker course

  • The fact the trainers have first-hand experience of being leaders of services for families built trust with us, they really understood the challenges. This meant that we could be honest and kept things realistic.

    Learner, leadership Programme

  • “This has been an extremely valuable piece of work, with Interface exceeding our expectations of what could be achieved”
