You can take the boy out of the local authority but you can’t take the local authority out of the boy!!!!
It was a pleasure to be back at Oxfordshire County Council yesterday, delivering some bespoke ligature awareness and rescue training in the living room of the home that Liam Walker used to manage!!!!
It was also good to catch up with some familiar faces and meet some new people who are all committed to keeping children safe. Even though Liam left OCC last year after 24 years, it is pleasing for him to know that they still have committed and knowledgeable staff in their homes helping to deliver high quality care and safeguarding, even through some tricky times.
Oxonia Care Consultancy is looking forward to continuing working with the local authority, using our specialist knowledge and understanding of its policies and procedures (Liam and Lindsay did write more than their fair share of them) to support staff to achieve amazing results. We have been able to make training specific to their needs and help “make it make sense” within the context of their organisation.
As this training was about preventing child su***de by ligature and hanging , we will be donating 10% of our fee to the Joey Beauchamp Foundation, a fantastic and worthy cause close to our hearts, and a charity that does so much locally to raise awareness around mental health and support su***de prevention.
If you would like some similar training for your organisation or you would like us to help your service meet it’s training needs, please get in touch.
All of our training is face to face and delivered by experts with practical experience and knowledge in the field they train in. We don’t do stale, “click a button and skip to the end and still pass” online courses!
Like we did for Oxfordshire County Council, we are able to write you bespoke training or adapt any of our existing courses to make them fit with your own unique setting or organisation.
Just let us know what you need and leave the rest to us!
