About Me
With a background in NHS safeguarding governance and long-standing experience in delivering, shaping and overseeing safeguarding frameworks across health, social care and community settings — I understand the challenges organisations face when seeking to embed effective safeguarding practice.

Professional and personal
As someone who has worked at system, regional and operational levels — including DoLS, LeDeR, safeguarding board work, policy development, audit, governance and leadership oversight — I bring practical insight, strategic vision and a commitment to trauma-informed, person-centred, equitable safeguarding.
I launched CJ Consultancy to offer independent, high-quality safeguarding support — bridging the gap between policy, practice and leadership.
My approach is: professional yet personable; rigorous yet realistic; grounded in evidence and best practice while rooted in empathy, respect and fairness.
Why work with me
Deep sector knowledge
From NHS governance and safeguarding backlogs (e.g. DoLS, LeDeR) to community and voluntary sector safeguarding — I understand the real-world pressures, constraints and risks.
Tailored, realistic solutions
I don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all”. I work with you to understand your context, risks, capacity, and ambitions — and shape safeguarding accordingly.
Practical, actionable guidance
From policy drafting to case supervision, I deliver user-friendly tools, clear action plans, and practical support that works in practice.
Culture-centred, trauma-informed approach
I recognise that safeguarding is more than compliance — it’s about creating safe, supportive, inclusive environments where people feel heard, respected and protected.
Support for leadership and governance
I help trustees, boards and senior leaders embed safeguarding within governance frameworks — ensuring accountability, oversight and continuous improvement.
