Services
You can develop an evidence-based strategy with my support. I can draw on global, national and local strategies, policy and legislation to provide the context for local consultation and priority setting.
Partnership is fundamental for building safer and healthier communities because different organisations bring unique remit, expertise, skills and knowledge to the table. Joint working allows for a more effective and holistic approach. Engaging communities in crime prevention and health initiatives ensures that strategies are culturally sensitive, responsive to local needs, and more likely to gain community support.
I will provide expertise and capacity to develop ideas and complete paperwork to secure funding. My years of experience facilitating partnership working also enable me to build consensus around pooled budgets.
Effective delivery is the key to changing the lives of individuals and communities. I will work with you, your team and your partners to develop a model that leads to success.
I will help you demonstrate results, allowing you to secure further funding and transform lives. I will review data and consult widely to measure your success and provide recommendations for the future.
Whether you need a facilitator, a trainer or a coach, I have the knowledge and experience to work with you, your partners and staff to create partnership consensus, build team skills, and improve individual confidence.
