Overall Assessment:

What was best about the session?

All the information and resources shared.
Sharing tips.
It was great to have practical advice and links to the resources.
Lots of ideas and expertise offered.
Lots of helpful information.
Great information.
Lots of practical activity ideas and clear progression to introduce skills and build on them.
Explained everything at a good pace and related it back to habilitation!
Ideas for early years and progression.
Very informative.
All your expertise.
Ideas, resources and photos. Having links is really helpful!
The pictures of the straight line method of cleaning. The idea of using the inside out method on pillow cases first before moving onto doing this with a duvet. I hadn't thought about doing that.
Learning new aspects or strategies for support, but also reassurance that I am working well with my CYPVIs as I am a lone Hab in my borough this is important.
All aspects of the webinar were extremely helpful. The use of the hotel room for ILS sessions is excellent, thank you for including this, it has sowed an idea.
The lived experience of the presenters. The knowledge and content is great for all but especially newly qualified habs.
The leaders really knew their topic.
Good links to resources.
Awareness of why these skills are important for CYP and the different approaches to teaching.
I liked that we discussed the age range appropriate skills.
Access to information regarding resources, real life experiences, interesting conversations. The idea of age and stage and that one size does not fit all.
Practical tips and examples.
New ideas, techniques to try.
Some brilliant practical hints, tips and tricks! Thank you!
Learning the methods of how to teach putting on a duvet.
Interesting.
I felt pleased about the fact a lot of information I am aware of was endorsed, but more importantly some new information around technology was interesting to me. I was also impressed on the new way to fill a duvet cover! The Burrito way.

What, if anything, do you think should have been included?

Activities and group discussion to make the webinar more stimulating.
The photos were very useful, so more photos will be great.
I think it was well covered.
The webinar covered a range of topic and age ranges.
I thought it was the perfect amount of information.
Would have loved a video as part of session - but believe you said there was one we could watch later. Maybe a session plan of steps to build up to skills?
More of a breakdown of the second method of putting a duvet in a duvet cover - not the method where you turn it inside out.
Other areas are upcoming, which is great and I think this covered my expectations for bedroom and household skills well.
Maybe a video of the practicals as well as photos but all great!
Maybe some discussion on the different types of hoovers and any tips on things like changing hoover bags or emptying the debris collector as this can be challenging with VI.
Video footage of teaching practice.
One thing I like to hear is testimony from our students but I do understand that sometimes the barriers to getting them on to a course can put paid to that.
Not Applicable. This series is great.
I think you covered it all. Very informative. (2)
I can't think of anything/Nothing. (5)

What other CPD training would you like the SSC to provide?

Using Apps for travelling please.
Any hab type things.
Anything ISL for VI Students.
Maximising functional vision strategies.
More in the ILS series would be great.
More ideas for resources, further reading etc. Cooking skills.
More practical tips on independent skills teaching.
The presenters dipped into their knowledge of technology, a deep dive into different tech for ILS and perhaps separately O&M would be good.
I am keen to know how our blind and low vision students can stay safe on line. I like very direct straight talking about safety and allowing our students to be in no doubt about what is right and wrong with personal safety.
