I have learnt more about legislation and how my role links to them.

The structure could have been better as at the end, there were things that needed to be completed but not linked to anything and nothing when in order.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

I received support but would be more beneficial if they gave us more time as it can be difficult to manage with keyworker documents, work related tasks and personal life.

A lot, Phyl was easy to talk to and always offered help if I needed it.

Just helps you to learn and understand more about why we do this job as well as why it's important.

No.
