Testimonials

"They use visual digital resources that really help to guide the children through the workshops."

"It's very rare that we don't get at least one child needing support throughout the day, but that wasn't the case when EdShift visited our school. The children were extremely engaged and were still asking questions a while after the sessions had finished'

"Powerful, hard hitting, and informative. Just what our year 11s needed. Loved that the practitioners stayed behind afterwards so some of the young people could talk to them 1:1 if needed'.

"My colleague has already recommended this to other neighbouring schools. Just brilliant.” "Essential, innovative and really eye opening. The kids loved the drama element".

"5 stars for the training. Very needed, informative, and fantastic to see things through the eyes of a child."
