Testimonials and Reviews

Below are examples of the impact CBC training has made on individuals and organisations:

"Nurses and midwives are often the first to be involved with the family after the loss of a child. The Royal College of Nursing fully supports the work done by the Child Bereavement Charity and values the education and support that has been provided to healthcare professionals over the last two decades"
Carolyn Basak, former Midwifery & Women's Health Adviser, The Royal College of Nursing

"The support CBC has provided to the various multi-agency representatives involved in The Child Death Review process has been invaluable in giving us space to reflect on our work and how it affects us in both our professional as well as personal lives, and as the sessions have been on a cross-agency basis this has provided an added beneficial dimension"
Greg Barry - Development Officer for Kent Safeguarding Children Board


"May I thank you for coming to Wokingham Learning Difficulties and Disabilities Services and putting on three excellent and very high quality workshops. The standard and quality of the presentations and resource materials was outstanding and each facilitator was obviously chosen both for their depth of knowledge and expertise, but also for their outstanding commitment to the work that they do.

I believe that we achieved all the anticipated outcomes from the workshops, which were around service development and multi-disciplinary working, and team building, as well as increasing our knowledge base. I have heard only praise from all attendees and have been able to see the results in improved multi-agency practices and relationships, which will improve our service to the children, young people and families that we work with. I have requested to the training and development team that we commission further workshops in order to build our expertise"

Dyana Rush, Team Manager, Disabled Children's Team

"This is the second CBC course I have attended and considering the subjects, I felt I walked away with more knowledge and also gained a lot about my own thoughts and feelings. The facilitators were very open, honest and encouraging, which made me feel comfortable"
Participant on 'Suicide- the Impact on Families'

"This course has given me a huge amount of knowledge and understanding. I have learnt a lot about  things ranging from models of grief, child development and the  needs and responses to grief to creative and fun ways of working with children. Most importantly though I have learnt about myself. I thought I was good at self awareness before the course but it took me to another level entirely. This enabled me to help to understand why I am the person I am and what drives me. It also helped me to see things from a child’s perspective. Sharing ideas and experiences with other professionals has also been invaluable.
I now have so much confidence and plenty of ideas that I feel justified to be doing the work that I do. Thank you CBC!"
