Consultancy FAQs

  • The short answer is yes if the policies, procedures or strategies relate to delivering interventions or services to children and young people in care.

  • Depending on your setting we would match you with the right consultant to discuss your needs. We would then complete a service review and produce a report with recommendations

  • Generally, this is a significant problem for health and social care sectors. Unfortunately finding the ‘right’ people is likely to take time. We would need to understand your current challenges in more detail. There are no easy answers but we can share our methods which have been successful.
