Through over 18 years of working both as a former frontline safeguarding practitioner, counsellor and clinical supervisor in demanding roles, I am passionate about designing and delivering high-quality training. After working for, and with, statutory and voluntary agencies, many of whom have a shared goal but very different remits and approaches, I have experienced first-hand the training needs necessary for you to not only understand the theory but also to develop the invaluable knowledge and  skills required to then put that into safe practice. This is essential to provide the very best service to those who are vulnerable due to mental health needs and at risk of, or affected by harm or abuse, all of whom deserve nothing but the best safeguarding available in order to protect and support them.
 

My training modules are designed very much with this in mind along with showing consideration for your time and budget in an ethical and efficient manner at all times. I also provide consultancy to agencies who may require me to manage and/or enhance existing or future service provision and provide invaluable supervision for Designated Safeguarding Leads.

​

Based in the East Midlands, and also delivering training further afield I pride myself on providing accurate, innovative and inspirational training designed to exceed your expectations and motivate people to realize their full potential.

​

I have had the privilege of delivering training to a wide range of professionals including those working in Health, Mental Health, Emergency Services, Social Services, Local Authority, Education, Housing, Probation, Corporate and Voluntary sectors, Therapists, Coaches, Equine Therapists & Coaches.

 

As your trainer I am friendly and down to earth with an approachable nature and great sense of humour. I am very aware of the sensitivity that safeguarding issues and training demand, therefore I always ensure I deliver it in an honest, genuine and respectful way whilst maintaining confidentiality and placing the needs of the delegates at the core of each session.

 

CPD Accredited Training Modules include:

​

• Mental Health Awareness & Wellbeing

• Brain Health, Gut Health & The Nervous System

​

​

The modules are designed to suit the needs of the delegates, ideally up to 15 per session in order to maximise learning potential whilst allowing time for questions and discussion. Each session can be tailored to suit the delegates' role, remit and level of duty of care. Training may therefore vary in terms of level of content and/or time required.

 

Available online, in-house and in-person at my wonderful equine venue in Derbyshire where horse grooming and agility sessions can be included.

​

 

In-house sessions provide the excellent benefit of training more members of staff per session at a location suitable to you, utilizing time efficiently and working ethically. These costs represent exceptional value per delegate for provision of specialist training, designed and delivered from a wealth of working knowledge and experience. Financial situations of individual agencies are also taken into consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your training needs.
