We deliver bespoke research-informed, evidence-based experienced practitioner training packages to social care, police, health, education, private and public sectors.

We provide basic awareness and intermediary safeguarding training in line with the National Safeguarding, Training and Development Standards. 

Alongside mandatory/standardised training for your organisation, we can tailor training to your identified internal training needs. We also offer refresher training to support workers’ confidence and continued professional development.

Our research and practice wisdom informs other training and developmental opportunities for front-facing organisations, for example Uncomfortable Conversations & Situations, Decision-Making and Multi-Agency Collaborations. 

We seek to collaborate with others with particular expertise to provide an all-rounded learning experience. We are all about encouraging and advancing good practice development and opportunities for front-facing staff.
