Services
Consultancy, Mentoring, and Training Tailored to Children's Rights
Flexible support to embed children's rights and participation effectively.
Strategic Participation & Systems Change
I support children's services and organisations to move beyond individual participation activities and embed children's rights and meaningful participation across their systems. Through strategic review, challenge and development, I work alongside leaders to strengthen participation strategies, governance, decision-making and organisational approaches. The focus is on creating the conditions for sustainable change — connecting strategic ambition with everyday practice so that children's voices have meaningful influence on the decisions, services and systems that affect their lives.
Leadership & Governance
I work with senior leaders, elected members, boards and strategic partnerships to strengthen their understanding of children's rights and their role in creating the conditions for meaningful participation. Through leadership development, strategic challenge and facilitated conversations, I support decision-makers to consider how children's voices influence priorities, governance and decision-making, and to develop leadership approaches that embed rights-based participation across the organisation rather than treating it as a separate activity.
Training & Workforce Development
I provide specialist training and workforce development that builds the knowledge, confidence and capability to put children's rights and meaningful participation into practice. With particular expertise in the Lundy Model of Participation, I offer engaging, practice-focused learning for practitioners, managers and leaders, alongside bespoke programmes tailored to organisational needs. The focus is not simply on understanding participation, but on translating learning into sustained changes in practice, decision-making and organisational culture.
Professional Mentoring & Practice Leadership
I provide independent professional mentoring and non-line-management support for participation leads, children's rights leads and others responsible for driving participation across organisations. Through regular reflective and strategic conversations, I offer a confidential space to think through challenges, strengthen professional practice, navigate organisational systems and develop influence. The focus is on supporting practitioners to grow as confident practice leaders who can connect children's rights and participation with wider organisational change.
Facilitation, Challenge & Speaking
I provide independent facilitation, strategic challenge and specialist speaking for organisations, partnerships and events focused on children's rights, participation and systems change. From facilitating leadership and strategy sessions to contributing to conferences, workshops and learning events, I bring national expertise, practical insight and constructive challenge to help people think differently, have meaningful conversations and turn discussion into purposeful action.
