Meet Our Latest Team Members

Sherwood Training’s Level 2 and Level 3 RRN-approved programs, certified by Bild-ACT/UKAS, are designed for professionals across health, social care,
and education sectors.

With over 12 years of experience supporting Autistic People and individuals with learning disabilities within a daycentre environment, I am committed to ensuring
that care services, educational sectors and NHS professional receive evidencebased, person-centred, competent high standard of training.

As a Senior Trainer at Sherwood Training, I deliver Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 RRNapproved courses, as well as Sherwood Training’s TrainTheTrainer programme. My role focuses on building the knowledge, confidence, and competency in practical skills not only with learners but, also affiliate organisations and their internal trainers, ensuring they deliver Sherwood programmes in full alignment with RRN training standards.

I look forward to meeting you at the Care Show in October and sharing how Sherwood Training can support your teams in delivering highquality, safe care. Liam Meakin-Senior Trainer& Associate Trainer Development Facilitator.

With 18 years’ experience across the health and social care sectors – 15 of those years as a Registered Mental Health Nurse – I bring a depth of frontline expertise to Sherwood Training. My career has spanned diverse clinical settings, supporting individuals with complex needs including but not limited to mental health conditions, learning disabilities, brain injuries and dementia.

Now focusing on my passion for education, I ensure Sherwood Training’s RRN approved programs are more than just a box ticking exercise.

I also specialise in crafting bespoke training packages that are clinically relevant and tailored to the specific needs of each client group. From First Aid to Manual Handling to Medication Awareness, I am dedicated to empowering staff with the knowledge they need to deliver safe, high quality, person-centred care.

“I look forward to meeting you at the Care Show in October to discuss how Sherwood Training can elevate your team’s standards and support your mission of excellence.”

With over 25 years of experience as a Mental Health Clinical Lead Nurse, including 15 years specialising in CAMHS and crisis support, I have worked across a wide range of complex and high-risk services such as brain injury rehabilitation, dementia care, secure wards, and prison settings. This has given me a strong and practical understanding of the challenges teams face in real-world environments.

As Training Manager at Sherwood Training, I lead on the quality and direction of our training, ensuring everything we deliver is evidence-based, aligned with RRN standards, current legislation, and underpinned by a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) framework. I work closely with organisations to develop bespoke techniques and provide consultations that are not only compliant, but effective in practice.

My focus is on helping services move beyond compliance into confident, values-led practice, supporting teams to apply reducing restrictive practices safely, proportionately, and in a truly person-centred way. I am incredibly proud to be part of Sherwood Training and to see the impact of this training year on year, with services achieving meaningful reductions in restrictive practice and stronger outcomes for the people they support.

Meet us at the Care Show this October, if you are looking to strengthen practice, embed PBS, or build confidence in managing more complex situations, I would love to connect.
