About Us
Providing Safeguarding Supervision and Well-being in Shropshire
CA Consultancy Service is the only Supervision service in Shropshire for Designated Safeguarding Leads in schools, colleges, training, and voluntary organisations. The service is also available beyond Shropshire.
Following 33 years in post-16 education as a teacher, manager, senior leader, and senior Designated Safeguarding Lead and Mental Health Lead, I have created the consultancy service to support the dedicated staff working in safeguarding roles. I want to enable safeguarding staff to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people in their care. I hope to ensure that Supervision is not overlooked in its importance for Safeguarding staff.
As a qualified Safeguarding Supervisor, with a background in Holistic and Beauty Therapies, the supervision service is bespoke to each organisation and individual.
Sessions can be delivered as groups or for individuals with the option of combining relaxation and well-being activities with supervision or separately.
I have developed numerous safeguarding-related policies and procedures, been part of the AoC Mental Health Policy group, and have great pride in developing the FE Leads Network for Shropshire and its borders Senior DSLs, this network provides support through discussion and networking.
I provide a reliable, personal consultancy service for both current and new policy, procedure, and process development within an organisation.
Over the many years of managing teams and different services within a college, I can support any organisation with project work. This might be team or service reviews, restructures, mystery shopper activities as well as bringing organisations together through larger projects such as a merger. I appreciate and know firsthand how effective networking and promoting your business through face-to-face events can be, identifying opportunities to work together. I can promote your offer at events and help bring together effective partnerships.
I genuinely look forward to working with you.
