WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU :

I have a wealth of experience and knowledge, and provide consultancy services that are very much focussed upon action and outcomes : I can assimilate information quickly, am able and willing to challenge constructively, am an encouraging and enabling person, and am especially committed to the translation of policy into effective practice. Please see current projects and recent work for more information and also for testimonials from colleagues.

MY CREDENTIALS :

I work as a consultant and trainer within the voluntary and statutory sectors - with a particular set of skills and experience relating to housing and homelessness, mental health work, substance misuse issues, Supporting People, and to establishing and maintaining effective working relationships between organisations and the individuals who work within them.

I am a member of the Affiliate Pool of the Audit Commission, an Associate Consultant with NDTi and an Independent Assessor for the Alliance, Herefordshire. (See 2010 page for more details).

I have a strong commitment to active and meaningful service user involvement, and to enabling organisations to put their policy into practice in this particular aspect of their work and activity.

I have worked in both voluntary (ROCC and the Society of St James in Southampton) and statutory agencies (as an NHS Manager), and am comfortable and confident in working with a large range of agencies and with the different personnel within them. For me, all people who work within, or receive services from, the organisation are of equal importance and worth.  

All the consultancy and training services which I offer are geared towards offering people practical and manageable solutions - with a focus on actions and outcomes.
