Testimonial

John

Project Spark Founder

Their seminar was specifically tailored to meet our organisational needs and she thoughtfully answered specific questions we had. In the future I hope to attend more sessions.

Kathie

Project Spark Leadership Team

As all of our volunteers are teachers from Hong Kong’s international schools and have already attended their own school’s safeguarding training, it is a real testament that all the teachers reported that they had learned something new and felt much more comfortable as a volunteer-teacher.

Raymond

Project Officer,
Shakespeare4All

Our organisation made our action plan for child safeguarding during the workshop and we are working on it. Again, thank you for organising an insightful workshop for us.

Shiona Carson

Artistic Director,
Shakespeare4All

Our whole team gained so much insight into how to ensure the correct safety procedures and wellbeing of children under our care should be conducted as well as awareness of protecting our staff and organisation as well.

Catherine Dannaoui

Executive Director,
HandsOn Hong Kong

We left the session empowered with knowledge, practical tools and systems that will help us ensure we’re a child-safe organisation across all of our programming.
