"We would like to thank you for the delivery of an excellent programme .It was by no means an easy brief, with all the challenges of timing given our then, imminent restructure of service. It has posed many challenges to both social work staff and managers. In terms of feedback it has been perceived by staff as extremely beneficial and enabled reflection of practice assumption. It has also had a positive impact in respect of facilitating feelings of staff and will play its part in service building. Many thanks to you for the professional skill you contributed."
