What our clients say:

  • I have worked with Wendy and Interface since her days at DFES and later as the Founder of Interface. She has built considerable expertise in the key developments in Family Support over the last 20 years and with her partners has been able to offer us knowledge, experience, flexibility to meet our changing requirements as we have developed our services. We have valued her help developing our practice, management , systems and meeting our partnership workforce development needs most recently on Family Hubs, Management and Leadership and Trauma programmes.

    Wendy and colleagues are responsive, excellent communicators with us, partners and staff. We have been really pleased with the outcomes. I would you use them again and recommend to others.

  • I have learnt so much from this course. Loved every bit of it!
    I was guided us through this programme with the right amount of support and challenge in my opinion, around the deadlines and course requirements.

    Learner, Level 5 Certificate -Leadership & Management, Working with Children, Individuals & Families

  • This course was literally life changing for me – I saw things so differently as it progressed and I felt so freed up to be the leader I wanted to be – I just wish everyone was able to do it

    Learner, Leadership Programme

  • The level of genuine conversations that took place changed relationships between our agencies – I think this would have taken 10 years under normal circumstances

    Learner, leadership programme

  • It felt like you could be really vulnerable and safe at once – I have never seen any other trainers create this so well. Being able to be vulnerable enabled that big growth and connection with others – it meant we could work from an honest place.

    Learner, Leadership Programme

  • I have seen my circles of influence increase as a result of understanding and working in a different way because of the learning on the programme. I think other people see me as a leader now

    Learner, Leadership programme

  • I was encouraged to do this course by my manager and was very nervous as at 58 I had not carried out this sort of learning which needed assignments for years. I was apprehensive. The tutor was supportive throughout and my confidence has built. I passed with her support and am delighted. It supported me to go for the next level job which I got!

    Learner RBKC Level 5

  • This is by far the best programme I have ever been on. I learned more about myself and how to be effective than all the other programmes and training I’ve been on put together

    Learner, Leadership Programme

  • The way the programme is laid out is very easy to understand. The worksheets allowed me to be able to go back to topics in order to write the assignments- so was a great resource.
    The trainer was supportive and available.
    I already used what I learnt in my interview and was successful!

    Learner, Level 5 Leadership & Management Certificate, Working with Children, Individuals & Families

  • I didn't think that I was a leader until I attended this course and I feel so differently now - empowered and passionate. Fantastic course. I even enjoyed the assignments as it made me really think about my practice. I have learnt a lot about myself.
