title: Giving effective feedback.
abstract: Feedback is a vital part of education and training which, if carried out well, helps motivate and develop learners' knowledge, skills and behaviours. It helps learners to maximize their potential and professional development at different stages of training, raise their awareness of strengths and areas for improvement, and identify actions to be taken to improve performance.
