Safeguarding Support That Turns Complex Challenges into Clear Action
Our Services
Independent Safeguarding Audits
Who it's for: Local authorities, charities, schools, children’s homes, and various services dedicated to supporting children, young people, and families in their wellbeing and protection.
What I offer: Comprehensive or targeted safeguarding audits tailored to your organisation’s specific needs. Detailed reviews of case files and decision-making processes to ensure robust protection measures. Thorough checks on cultural awareness and fair treatment to promote inclusivity. Practical advice grounded in current legal frameworks and established good practice standards. Ongoing support to help you develop and effectively implement improvement plans.
Why it matters: In safeguarding, having a clear and independent perspective is invaluable—someone who truly understands the everyday realities, as well as the broader legal and ethical frameworks. My audits go beyond mere compliance or ticking boxes; I prioritise the quality and effectiveness of your safeguarding arrangements, identifying what is working well and where additional support is required. Whether you’re preparing for inspections, addressing specific concerns, or striving to enhance your overall safeguarding practices, I am committed to providing expert guidance and partnership throughout your journey.
Tailored Safeguarding Training
Who it's for: This training is designed specifically for social workers, designated safeguarding leads (DSLs), school staff, voluntary groups, and health workers who are directly involved in safeguarding children and young people.
Topics include: An in-depth exploration of contextual safeguarding and exploitation, understanding disguised compliance and the importance of professional curiosity, promoting anti-discriminatory safeguarding practices, addressing complex race, culture, and faith issues sensitively, and enhancing reflective supervision alongside case learning for continuous professional development.
Training sessions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your service and delivered flexibly either face-to-face or through engaging online formats to ensure accessibility and effectiveness.
Consultancy & Professional Advice
Who it's for: Local authorities, voluntary groups, schools, independent services, and safeguarding leads who require expert strategic guidance to enhance their safeguarding frameworks and ensure robust protective measures.
What I offer: Comprehensive policy and practice reviews, detailed audits focusing on fairness and anti-racism, tailored service improvement plans, specialist safeguarding advice, as well as dedicated support for both short-term initiatives and long-term consultancy projects.
Why it matters: Receiving independent, expert advice empowers services to concentrate on achieving effective outcomes, reduce safeguarding risks, and confidently comply with all relevant legal and regulatory duties.
I am available to provide one-time advice sessions, manage short projects, or engage in ongoing consultancy partnerships to support your safeguarding needs.
