"We're not just about bricks and mortar and we want to make sure that everyone in the organisation knows that safeguarding is everyone's concern.
I was pleased with the impact that AFTA Thought had. Our audience was mostly those who visit homes to make repairs, deliver gardening services or undertake other environmental improvements such as clearing rubbish and pest control. The three hour session helped them realise that if they are visiting homes then what they see is their concern. We have to get safeguarding right and I think this helped us do that.
When I saw and heard the reactions of the participants I was convinced that this was three hours, and money, well spent. The style of delivery means that we could get 60-100 people in the room at the same time and this had a massive impact on the cost per head."
