        Residential Children's Facility

The course touched upon things beyond what I had expected. What was relevant was helpful, the other content will be hugely beneficial in the future. I found it gave me an insight into preserving the dignity of a child, not just the ability to look after yourself. This is a course I hope will stay with me throughout any school experience.
