In addition to our training courses, we offer a full range of services to help schools and other organisations both prevent abuse and deal with the consequences of abuse.
“The training sessions were so outstanding, we’ve since worked with Marilyn and her team on how we can embed her advice in everything we do. The work they have done has been invaluable in helping us address every aspect of abuse”
John Maplin, Headmaster
By law, every school needs to comply with government guidelines on preventing abuse. But too often this results in a policy, rather than an active programme to prevent and manage abuse.
We’ll start by understanding your current approach, programmes and outcomes. We’ll then work with you to move you beyond mere compliance to create an environment that offers real protection against abuse.
The secret to actively preventing abuse is a clear-eyed understanding of how well you do today. Many schools are confident they do it well, right up until they have a problem they should have been able to prevent.
We’ll help you understand your current level of resilience to abuse, and any risks you face. In most cases, an immediate action plan is required. We’ll help you implement and build a culture that delivers real protection for both the child and the school.
How you handle reports or suspicion of abuse is critical. Time after time, schools make key mistakes in their early response.
We’ve experience of handling almost every type of problem schools encounter. If you have a problem, or a suspicion of a problem, we’ll help you manage it to deliver the best outcomes.
Whenever we encounter abuse, we invariably find at least one person – teacher, parent or child – had suspicions, but didn’t feel comfortable accusing someone.
Our Whistleblower service allows those with concerns to contact us directly in confidence. We’ll ensure those concerns are dealt with and, where appropriate, without disclosing the whistleblower’s identity.
