Making a difference

We are re-developing our Drink Drive campaign at present and much of the theory that we covered in the course has made me re-think who we are targeting and what exactly we are trying to get across (Participant 2)

I really think about message delivery when designing presentations and have tried to pass this education on to colleagues for when they are delivering the presentations. (Participant 4)

It has helped me add to lesson plans, given me confidence in what I’m delivering and has also helped me plan the evaluation which will hopefully secure further funding from DFT. (Participant 3)
