I'm Amy, a Independent Safeguarding Consultant who specialises in helping organisations move from compliance to confidence.

With 14+ years in social care, ranging from frontline roles to senior leadership (including Child Protection Chair, Independent Court Expert, IRO, and Quality Assurance Lead), I truly understand the pressure practitioners and leaders face.

What makes me different?

I deliver mock inspections that prepare teams (not panic them), board governance that executives actually understand, and training rooted in reality, not just textbook theory.

I work with local authorities, schools, children's homes, and charities on:

• Mock CQC/Ofsted inspections – personable, reflective, focused on growth

• Board-level governance & ethics committee chairing

• Independent safeguarding audits & case reviews

• Practical training that addresses real challenges

I'm also a published commentator in Community Care, BASW and Social Work News, where I champion frontline voices.

As both a safeguarding professional and a parent, I understand the weight of responsibility we carry when protecting children. That's why my work focuses on creating safeguarding systems that are genuinely protective, not just policy-compliant.
