Inspiring Feedback from our Learners!

Great Endorsement of BrightSparks from North Yorkshire School

“At our school, where parenting courses have historically not worked, BrightSparks have come in and delivered behaviour and child development training that is well structured, research-led and accessible to all.”

Learner story: Sam

“I’ve found the courses really, really good. It’s been a great first step back into the world of learning and education because it’s friendly, informal, and a lot of people that have come on the Essential Skills for Working with Children and Young People course have similar experiences to me."
