What we do
We help local authorities create financial sustainability plans that reduce cost without compromising on quality. We look at how money is used to meet need and develop plans to help children lead independent lives, supported by local communities and local practitioners without excessive reliance on high-cost placements. We make high needs block and social care costs make sense.
We create models and insights that centre around early intervention to prevent escalation and reduce demand. We seek solutions that prevent children entering care, keep children educated near their family and friends, and avoid exclusions from school. Our solutions reduce the demand on your workforce and are always informed by individual cases to understand lived experience.
We draw upon different areas of our methodology to meet the unique needs of LAs and organisations.
We make technology work for you, giving your teams more time for direct practice and building relationships that change lives. From tools that audit EHCPs and prioritise annual reviews to chatbots that take parents and carers through your local offer, our solutions enable digitally empowered professional judgement, without reliance on product subscription models.
We support change that changes lives, whether it’s collaborating with leaders to reach the next Ofsted grade or working on-the-ground with teams until impact becomes real. We treat each local authority uniquely, carefully considering local inequalities and drawing on best practice from similar local areas.
