Mike was great

Mike was great, I have learned a lot!!
If possible, may be better to do it in 2 days due to it being very informative?
However, Mike gave plenty of breaks, answered all our questions and made it enjoyable. I will certainly assign my team to complete this training.

Excellent from Start to Finish

I had the privilege of attending the Homelessness Law training, led by Mike and Shannon from Homelessness Best Practice . Their expertise and dedication were exceptional. They made complex legal concepts accessible and left me feeling more capable in my role as a family support practitioner. Highly recommend the training thanks to Mike and Shannon's excellent delivery.

This is essential training

I was a little apprehensive about attending a full day online course and the potential for it to be gruelling. It was the total opposite. Mike and Shannon were extremely professional, knowledgeable and clearly knew a great deal about the subject.
It was well paced with the two of them working really well together. We were given the opportunity to work on tasks in small groups which was very useful.
I intend to add the training to our induction programme for new workers.

This training had the potential to be…

This training had the potential to be dry and tricky, It was anything but. The trainers made the training material really live, relevant and interesting. I have been in my homelessness support role for 2.5 years and this feels like it has been the missing link to my training. I now feel far more equipped to knowing what their rights are. I find illustrating points with examples really helps me understand this complicated material.

Great training

Very impressed. I came to the training more as a concerned citizen than a professional careworker, but I feel like I've had an upgrade! I feel empowered to help deal with people's issues and will be able to challenge councils head on to make sure vulnerable applicants get the service and support they are legally allowed. Thank you Mike and Shannon!

Just finished this course

Just finished this course, so much we really don't know when it comes to housing law. Everyone working in housing and homelessness needs this knowledge.
Good information hope to do more with Homelessness Best Practice CIC in the future.

An Introduction to Homelessness Law

As a local news journalist I found the Introduction to Homelessness Law training extremely interesting, and eye opening.

Some of us who work outside of this sector think we know what's what when it comes to homelessness.

After today, I know that I didn't. And sometimes council officers don't either. Which is scary.

After a day on Zoom with Homelessness Best Practice CIC I'm now equipped to better understand council reports on homelessness and I'm better able to spot things that need further investigation.

Excellent training by HBP.

Really excellent training by Shannon and Mike. Their depth of knowledge is evident from the amount of legislation and caselaw they are able to talk about freely without notes. Their understanding of real world situations is evident from the amount of practical strategies and tips they are able to offer to actually affect change. Really appreciated the physical resources they gave us too. Critical training for our team.
