Commendations

From the grandmother of one of our students who has seen how her student has flourished

When I think of Inaura now, I immediately think of three words: kindness, care and comfort. Kindness because that's what you possess in abundance; care because that's what you take, all the time; and comfort for child and parent because at last they have found a group of people who not only care and don't judge, but whose professional knowledge and expertise, based on solid research, can really make a difference. Best of all your child is treated as someone with a real contribution to make instead of being seen as a nuisance and an insoluble problem. Perhaps for the very first time he or she has the space and encouragement to recover some self-esteem and begin to fulfil potential.

From Mark Stockdale (DCSF) in 2009

I found my visit really useful and interesting and quite different from other visits I've made.  What impressed me was Inaura's unique blend of personalisation and accountability for outcomes.  So many providers are either very good at accommodating individuals' needs or at working towards accredited outcomes, but rarely both together.  A really good working example of every child matters in practice. 

From a Deputy Secondary Head who completed an earlier version of the course

This was the most useful training I have ever done for behaviour

Statistics from 3 separate twilight sessions we ran during 2003-2008 

7 out of 10 trainees who attended a two session twilight programme said that the training had changed their practice for the better. 2 out of 10 said it had been helpful and they were still developing the skills they needed. 1 out of 10 said they could not get on with it.
