Recently I have had the privilege to speak with Amy as a consultant and couldn’t recommend her enough.

Amy’s leadership style and understanding of social work comes from a place of empathy and compassion. She is as authoritative as humane in her approach to her role as an Independent Consultant.

A conversation with Amy is worth a few hours of reflective supervision and has helped me immensely when I was readying myself to return to statutory social work.

Amy brings clarity, care, and consistency to a sensitive and often complex area of work. Her deep understanding of safeguarding frameworks, paired with her trauma-informed approach, ensures that everyone who engages with our charity feels safe, heard, and supported. She leads with empathy and integrity, always advocating for the most vulnerable while empowering others through education and guidance.

Her calm presence, proactive mindset, and commitment to upholding best practice have not only strengthened our internal policies but also helped build a culture of trust and accountability throughout the organisation. Any team would be lucky to have Amy—she is a true asset to our mission and values.

A well balanced and thoughtlful article that reflects the views many members have shared with BASW England.

Amy has worked with Aidhour for a few years now . As a colleague and associate with Aidhour, Amy has demonstrated her incredible wisdom and depth of understanding of all things safeguarding and has contributed well to support our learning organisation. She has been my own "go to" person on some issues that I have needed some clarity

Amy brings a calm and authoritative presence to every meeting, ensuring that all voices are heard and that the child remains at the centre of every discussion. Her ability to manage complex and sensitive discussions with empathy and clarity is a testament to her deep understanding of safeguarding procedures and their commitment to best practice.

Amy has been invaluable to our organisation. Her board minutes are excellent succinct, clear, and actually useful, which is rare.

What really set Amy apart was her mock inspection process. It wasn't the terrifying box-ticking exercise we'd experienced elsewhere. She was thorough but personable, and her feedback was practical—things we could actually implement immediately.

When the real Ofsted inspection came, we were genuinely prepared. The practice improvements we'd made based on Amy's recommendations were evident throughout, and the inspectors commented on the strength of our safeguarding culture. We went from feeling anxious about inspection to feeling confident, and that's entirely down to Amy's approach.

If you need someone who delivers clear governance, actionable advice, and prepares your team properly not just on paper but in practice Amy is the person to call.
