External supervision
Supervision and support from an independent supervisor who is external to your organisation. It is a structured, collaborative relationship that aims to strengthen the quality of practice and the wellbeing of both the practitioner and the people they work with.
Individual and group supervision can be provided to practitioners and professional teams, matched to your organisation’s professional context and requirements.
From our blog: External social care supervision
Reflective practice groups
Facilitated reflective practice groups for teams working in emotionally demanding roles. Reflective practice creates a structured space in which professionals can consider their work, relationships, decision-making and the emotional impact of practice.
Programmes can be tailored to the needs of individual teams and organisations.

The fundamentals of systemic practice
For social care, social work and health organisations
A framework for understanding and addressing the complex dynamics within care settings, for communicating and collaborating well, and for building a supportive, resilient care environment. It can lead to better outcomes for the children and families using services, better job satisfaction for professionals and a more positive organisational culture.

Understanding and responding to harmful sexual behaviour
For professionals and caregivers working with children
Training in understanding what is ‘normal’, and how to respond when a child’s sexual behaviour is harmful. It gives professionals and caregivers the knowledge and skills to identify, assess and intervene appropriately, promoting the safety, wellbeing and healthy development of all the children involved.

Critical incident debriefs
Psychological support after a significant and potentially traumatic event, for teams in high-stress work such as social care, social work, emergency services and healthcare. A trained facilitator creates a safe, supportive space for those involved to talk through the event and their reactions, and to explore healthy ways of coping with its impact.
If you need an independent assessment
Court reports, independent social work and social care assessments, and access assessment are a separate part of the practice, commissioned case by case rather than arranged with a team.
