What was the most useful aspect of the workshop for you? 

  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the least useful? 

  

 

I t made me think more positively about life after divorce: legal; socialising; mediation; will (I hadn’t thought about it!) 

 

(Recognising) where I should start: gathering information, the legal aspects and how child care matters most but financial aspects are as important 

 

Information and contacts. Help with confidence in going forwards 

 

Realised things were not as bad as expected. The legal assurance was the most useful aspect. 

 

Contact with specialists who were understanding and empathetic. The 1:2:1 sessions were the most useful, there was nothing that wasn’t useful – all very good 

 

Able to talk to various experts 

 

How to divorce (as I already have 6 years ago!) 

There wasn’t quite enough time with each expert 

We spend too much valuable time talking to other participants instead of getting the most out of the day

 

 

Testimonial  

 

Great for topline information and pointers to where to go for further help. A valuable starting point for the price 

 

 

Any other comments?  

  

  

  

  

  

Good mix of experts (I wouldn’t have thought of wills & pensions – obviously very important. I now see a way forward & hope! Great catering.

It’s been really useful 4 hours 

 

Many thanks for an extremely useful and supportive workshop. I feel I can make contact with the specialists after the course if necessary
