Best TAF training I’ve been on!
Very knowledgeable trainer who gave lots of good advice and useable tips and tools.
Very engaging and energetic session – loved it.  

 Feedback form the commissioner:

Very satisfied with the whole commission. Good, effective communication throughout and a detailed reflective summary report provided which has informed an action plan for our newly appointed TAF advisers.
Interface were more than accommodating when we required changes to the program and circumstances changed.
Communication was fluid throughout the commissioning, delivery and evaluation.
Feedback has been positive and we are hoping to see an increased take up of the lead practitioner role throughout partner agencies working within our early support model.
