What organisations say about Barnardos training
Our staff found the training experience very informative, brilliantly presented and very interactive.

We constantly update our comprehensive range of courses in line with legislation, research and best practice developments.
Barnardos’ training events are delivered across Ireland, for groups of 6-16 participants, on a range of dates throughout the year including evenings and weekends to suit staff or volunteers working with children and young people.
If you request tailored training in-house, Barnardos will deliver the training at a location of your choice, using scenarios specific to your setting, reflecting your needs and the level of contact with children and is very cost effective.
