'It is indeed my pleasure to recommend
Mel Vella. We have known each other
for many years, whilst working
together both for the same and
different companies. Mel is indeed
an expert within her field, with a
great talent of appearing to keep
it simple, whilst not losing any of
its importance, thus possessing
great communication skills, no
matter what the audience or
challenge. I recommend MV
with the greatest of confidence.'

Ian Wilson Director

her knowledge and commitment
and I know she has provided an
excellent role model for our
service policemen and women
who will now go into our schools
to deliver the DARE programme.'

'Mel Vella is not only
an expert in her field,
but is highly skilled in
adapting the training
to meet individual
needs and challenges
of organisations, by
ensuring the training
can be transferred
seamlessly to the
workplace.

It’s always a pleasure to
have you training at
Vision.'

'I recruited Mel to the role of
training Manager while I was
the CEO of DARE a charity
providing drugs education in
Schools. It was one of the best
recruitments I have made in a
career spanning over 40 years.
She bought genuine flair, energy
and charm to a demanding role.
She helped to develop new
programmes for Secondary
schools and worked tirelessly
to extend the reach of the
charity. I cannot speak
too highly of Mel.

Her knowledge of the drugs
education field is second to none.'

Alistair Lang,
former CEO, DARE UK

'Mel is a highly professional
trainer who is excellent at
adapting according to purpose
and audience. She has
up-to-date subject knowledge
and the skills with which to
impart this knowledge. She is
supportive towards colleagues
and is respected by all those
with whom she works. I would
have no hesitation in
recommending Mel, as she is
motivated and enthusiastic
and excels in her field.'

'Melanie was very approachable
and contributed to a relaxed and
comfortable learning environment.'

Leanne, Community
Protection Officer,

'Now I have had a drug awareness
course I will be more aware of
drug users and less ignorant
towards them, as I now have more
knowledge around the subject.'

Sophie, Police Officer
Nottinghamshire Police

'Thank you Mel

I was impressed with your
teaching. You obviously
have a good understanding
of working with people in
this area and I aspire to get
myself up to date and back
into practice.'

Kathy, Outreach Worker

‘The training was well received
by those members of the
Military Police who attended,
essentially due to the ability of
Melanie to converse with the
NCOs and to ensure that all topics
were efficiently and effectively
taught. As a result of her
professionalism, all those who
attended were successful in its
completion, which is in no doubt
accredited to Melanie’s
professionalism, approach,
and personality, for which full
appreciation is given.’

Robinson RM MBE
SSgt, CRed Co-Ord
(Germany)

'Thank you so much for taking
the time to come out to me and
provide the drug awareness
training. I found it extremely
useful and it will definitely
inform my future practice when
working with this particular
client group. I enjoyed the varied
learning styles you incorporated
and felt it was pitched at just the
right level. I would definitely be
very interested in any future
training or workshops you have
planned.'
