Course Overview:According to a 1973 survey by the Sunday Times of London, 41% of people list public speaking as their biggest fear. Forget small spaces, darkness, and spiders, standing up in front of a crowd and talking is far more terrifying for most people.

Continuing Studies
The RQF Level 1 Awareness of Safeguarding course serves as an introductory course that provides individuals with a basic understanding of safeguarding principles. While it is a standalone qualification, individuals who complete the course may choose to progress further in their safeguarding training and education. Here are some potential progression options:

RQF Level 2 Award in Safeguarding: This qualification builds upon the knowledge gained in the Level 1 course and provides a more comprehensive understanding of safeguarding principles, policies, and procedures. It covers topics such as risk assessment, responding to safeguarding concerns, and effective communication in safeguarding contexts.
Specialized Safeguarding Courses: Individuals who wish to focus on specific areas of safeguarding can pursue specialized courses related to their field of interest. These courses may include Child Protection, Adult Safeguarding, Domestic Abuse Awareness, Online Safety, or Safeguarding in Healthcare. Specialized courses delve deeper into the specific risks, regulations, and best practices associated with safeguarding vulnerable individuals in those particular contexts.
Safeguarding Training for Specific Professions: Many professions have specific safeguarding training requirements tailored to their sector. For example, teachers may need to complete safeguarding training specific to the education setting, healthcare professionals may have training focused on safeguarding vulnerable patients, and social workers may have specialized safeguarding training in line with their role. Progression may involve undertaking profession-specific safeguarding courses or qualifications.
Safeguarding Leadership and Management Training: Individuals in supervisory or managerial positions may consider pursuing training that focuses on the leadership and management aspects of safeguarding. This can include courses on developing and implementing safeguarding policies and procedures, managing safeguarding incidents, conducting internal investigations, and providing guidance and support to staff.
Continued Professional Development (CPD): Engaging in ongoing CPD activities is essential for staying updated with the latest developments in safeguarding practices and policies. Individuals can attend conferences, workshops, or seminars related to safeguarding, child protection, or specific areas of interest within the field. This allows for continued learning and networking with other professionals.
Higher Education: Individuals who wish to pursue a more in-depth study of safeguarding can consider higher education programs in social work, psychology, criminology, or related fields. These programs provide comprehensive knowledge and training in safeguarding practices, policies, and research. They may lead to professional certifications or degrees that enhance career opportunities in safeguarding roles.

It's important for individuals to research and explore progression options that align with their specific career goals, interests, and local requirements. Different countries or regions may have varying certification or training requirements for safeguarding roles, so it's advisable to check with relevant regulatory bodies or professional associations for specific guidance.

What previous participant said about the course:
"For me, coaching with Rachel has been literally life-changing. When I first contacted Rachel I only expected to find out if dating was viable for someone as socially anxious as me and maybe a little help with my dating profile. What ended up happening transformed not just my beliefs about romantic relationships but about myself, emotions and all my other relationships. And throughout I have found her to be unceasingly gentle, patient and kind.
If a past version of myself read the above it would probably put him off. I would tell him: Rachel will not judge those parts of you that you might be a bit embarrassed about, and not only is she a lovely, friendly person, she is also as evidence-based as a dating coach can get. The worst thing that could happen is you lose a bit of time and money. But the best thing could be that she helps you find someone to spend the rest of your life with. So, if you’re thinking about contacting Rachel, stop procrastinating and go for it!” (Nick, 29)
"I really enjoyed the course. There were plenty of questions and purposeful advice that helped me to reflect on how I approached dates." (Simon, 35)
"I've really enjoyed attending this workshop. Every session has been thought provoking and I have really enjoyed the discussions and the many different perspectives and experiences discussed. The environment felt warm and inviting which allowed me to be vulnerable. Rachel's warm personality was a great help especially in the beginning stages of getting to know everyone. Rachel was very insightful. If you don't know where to begin in the dating world, this workshop is for you." (Lisa, 37) 
"I've learned a lot from Rachel's workshop and it's been great to have a safe and supportive space to talk about some of my challenges in dating. Rachel's a very empathetic and open dating coach. I'd recommend this workshop for anyone looking for a top level introduction to improving their dating habits and prospects." (Isioma, 41)
"Having already had a few 1:1 dating coaching sessions with Rachel, I was keen to take part in the group course in order to have more interaction with others who have also been struggling on this journey and learning from their experiences. I realised that the group sessions would also have a slightly different approach to the 1:1s and thought this could be beneficial to me. I really enjoyed the group course! Rachel's extensive knowledge, from her coaching and research, is evident in the sessions. They were carefully planned and developed but also she managed to personalise them and respond to slightly more individual needs or questions within the group once the sessions were under way. Rachel provided good materials to download as part of the course, in addition to the use of her 'Dating Workbook' as part of the tools for the sessions. I have found these very helpful and the Dating Workbook is great for both guided and independent use. The topics covered in both the group sessions and the Workbook are helpful and it has been good to remind myself about 'who I am', in order to be able to put that forward to potential dates - especially as I feel I am quite a different person now that I am almost 20 years older than when I last dated! Equally useful for me has been working out my 'deal-breakers' and 'deal-makers' to help me be more focussed and intentional with my dates. I look forward to putting these tools and experiences into practice, as well as the sessions from Part 2 of the course, on my next dates and using the Workbook to reflect on how I am progressing towards finding my next relationship. Thank you, Rachel, for all your guidance and support!" (Zosia, 46)
"I have been attending Rachel’s seminars since 2017. Healthy Dating though was my first course. I like that Rachel blends academic knowledge and practical skills in her teaching, whilst also drawing upon learners’ own experiences. There are a number of resources shared and (optional) homework. Even though I consider myself to be quite well versed when it comes to contemporary dating and relationship skills, I still enjoyed the course and learnt some new things." (Richard, 47)
"I thoroughly enjoyed the healthy dating sessions. Initially I was slightly apprehensive as I am quite shy and introverted, however the sessions were very relaxed. Each session offered the opportunity to ask questions and discuss topics with other course members, although there is no pressure to do so. After each session homework was set to help reflect on what we had learnt. As a result I feel more empowered and confident as I start dating again." (Joe, 47) 
"It’s been good to challenge myself to do a course that involves opening up a bit about things I’d tend to keep hidden and not discuss. Definitely ‘outside my comfort zone’ discussing feelings and experiences of dating. But it’s been good to share experiences with others in a supportive atmosphere. The course contents is comprehensive and well-structured and there's no pressure to contribute any more than you feel comfortable." (Pete, 58)
"This kind of group was a real find. I found the mini-course very helpful by giving me space to think about important dating questions. The guys in the group were great. They were willing to share their experiences and wisdom and hearing from such nice open people in the same boat as me was very therapeutic and helpful. Rachel is a very organized, informative, involved, and gentle mediator and a very wise, informed, empathic guide. Many thanks, Rachel!" (Sarah, 67)
