Enhancing Care Settings with Personalised Strategies
Care settings play a critical role in ensuring the well-being and safety of people in need of care. It is essential for care providers to implement personalised strategies that not only meet regulatory requirements but also prioritise the individual needs of those under their care.
About Me
I began my career in care in 1993 as a volunteer with the Mencap Homes Foundation. My commitment and passion for supporting others quickly led to a full-time care worker role.
In 2000, I transitioned to the role of Registered Manager at a residential home operated by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID). Three years later, I joined The Fire Fighters Charity, where I managed a recuperation centre dedicated to the wellbeing of serving and retired firefighters.
Subsequently, I served as Director of Care for a Specialist Trust, overseeing high-quality care services and strategic development. Building on this experience, I went on to establish my own consultancy, offering support and guidance to care sector professionals across various settings.
I sit as chair and panel member on the Football Associations National Safeguarding Panel alongside The FA’s National Serious Case Panel and Appeal Board.
My Regulation 44 and standard 3 visits provide professional challenge to ensure robust cohesion to the Children’s Home Regulations 2018 and the Residential Special School National Minimum Standards 2022.
