Testimonials from Care and Youth Worker Training Sessions

"I recently commissioned two IT safety sessions from eyepat for staff and foster carers in Rhondda Cynon Taf, I have been very impressed by the feedback received from this training, participants say that it has opened their eyes and made them more aware of the dangers that children can be put through on the internet, Participants also appreciated having a CD to take away with them after the training to refer to."
