Testimonials – Some comments from the Bedfordshire Against CSE Conference – 2020
Well done that was the best conference I have ever been on my mind was blown!! Amazing organisation.
This was one of the most informative and engaging events that I have ever attended. Every speaker was absolutely brilliant. It is the first conference, probably in my career, where I have been fully engaged all day. The learning and reflection for me when working with people traumatised was huge.
