Consultancy & Training Services for the Third Sector

Practical, experienced support for charities, housing associations, and social care organisations navigating complex challenges.

With 30 years working within the third sector, I offer consultancy and training that is grounded, honest, and built around what your organisation actually needs.

Whether you're a CEO trying to get your house in order, or an HR or L&D lead looking for specialist expertise, I work with you to build safer, stronger, more effective organisations.

What I Offer

Policy & Procedure Audits

Is your policy suite doing the job it needs to do? I review existing policies and procedures against current legislation, sector guidance, and best practice, to give you a clear, honest picture of where you stand and what needs attention. Particularly valuable for organisations preparing for inspection, going through growth, or where capacity is stretched..

Policy & Procedure Writing

From safeguarding policies to operational procedures, I write clear, accessible, legally compliant documents that your staff will actually read and use. I write for real organisations, not ideal ones-  which means plain language, practical guidance, and procedures that reflect how your teams actually work.

Case Reviews

When something has gone wrong, a structured review can be one of the most powerful tools for learning and improvement. I conduct safeguarding process reviews that are honest, trauma-informed, and focused on systemic learning rather than blame. Suitable for internal learning reviews and more formal processes.

Training Needs Analysis

Before you invest in training, it's worth knowing exactly what your organisation needs. I carry out thorough Training Needs Analyses that go beyond a tick-box survey,  looking at skills gaps, organisational context, staff experience, contractual obligations and the outcomes you're trying to achieve. The result is a clear, prioritised training plan that makes the most of your budget.

Team Days & Away Day Facilitation

I design and facilitate team days and away days that are actually worth the time out of the office. Whether you need to reset after a difficult period, develop shared values, work through a strategic challenge, or simply reconnect as a team, I create spaces that are engaging, purposeful, and well-held. No corporate ice-breakers. No death by PowerPoint.

Systems Audits & Action Planning

Sometimes an organisation knows things aren't working but can't quite see where the problems are. I carry out systems audits that look at your structures, processes, and ways of working; identifying gaps, duplications, and risks. You receive a clear action plan with practical, prioritised recommendations your team can actually implement.

Interim Management Cover

When a key role becomes unexpectedly vacant, the pressure on the rest of the team can be enormous. I offer interim management cover for organisations in the third sector, providing experienced, steady leadership while you recruit, restructure, or stabilise. Particularly suited to safeguarding lead, service and team management. 

Training Design & Delivery

I design and deliver bespoke training programmes across safeguarding, professional boundaries, trauma-informed practice, wellbeing and resilience, and leadership development. All training is grounded in real practice, shaped around your organisation's context, and evaluated rigorously. I have a 100% recommendation rate from over 200 training evaluation responses
