We all have a right to be safe
Chanon Consulting’s goal is to prevent harm, protect and promote wellbeing by interrupting harmful intimate and social relationship patterns, repairing where possible and supporting alternatives where necessary
Perspective
I think that the harm caused in families and social networks originates in disrupted development and destructive relationships.
So, my goal is to prevent harm, protect and promote wellbeing by promoting ways of interrupting harmful intimate and social relationship patterns, repairing where possible and supporting alternatives where necessary.
Partnership Approach
I bring a high level of competence, goodwill, and integrity to collaborating with commissioners, staff service users, and other stakeholders in each project. My goal is to properly understand the needs, constraints, and ambitions of the different partners in a project (within and external to a single agency), and to use that understanding to facilitate the best outcome for all.
Process
My preparatory planning is particularly appreciated for efficient and effective modelling, the project process, setting clear timelines/milestones, transparent breakdown of costs and built-in flexibility. Almost all my work is innovative and therefore requires good collaborative problem solving as the project progresses. I have a track record of managing this process well.
Perspective
Delivering safeguarding services which are high quality, effective and efficient is challenging. At every level, from senior management through frontline provision to service users’ experience, there are competing pressures. Not least of these is for a safeguarding system to be able to translate political, regulatory, and economic agendas into compassionate support for vulnerable service users of all ages.
My services should aim to identify and prevent or treat trauma as early as possible because the negative consequences of dysfunction and distress affects individual’s whole lives and spreads into their social networks and communities.
My approach begins from an in-depth understanding of family dynamics, including inter-generational issues, adult and child abuse and neglect and the impact of intersectional, social, and economic factors on the lives of individual service users.
Prevention is not just working to ensure that harm does not happen, in many or most cases coming to the attention of safeguarding services the focus is on preventing further or more permanent harm. This has been and remains the focus of my work to date. My doctoral thesis and subsequent research have been understanding and designing recovery support for traumatised service users. Helpfully, knowing what support individuals require in order to recover, also informs what is needed to prevent harm occurring in the first place.
Partnership Approach
I understand that goodwill and trust is essential for authentic exchange of information. I am accordingly good at negotiating with commissioners and project stakeholders to achieve project outcomes as discretely and respectfully as possible.
I have experience in a broad range of child and adult safeguarding. I bring academic rigour to my work, with illuminating literature reviews and ethical, innovative fieldwork. My special interests include service user experience, practice (including training and supervision), service design (for systems that support staff) and costing, commissioning, performance monitoring, and outcomes.
It requires systematically gathering feedback from service users, staff, provider organisations, and partners. This includes really understanding performance and outcomes information and engaging all relevant parties to co-produce innovative, effective services.
All my work involves a degree of change management – for which I usually adapt existing theoretical models or develop new ones to facilitate a shared understanding of the process and outcomes for the project.
My offer of planning, creating, or reviewing and improving services and outcomes is for both internal or outward facing projects and challenges. I can deliver work over as short or long a period as you require, working with or without regular progress meetings, dependent on the needs of the project.
Process
My project/research process sets clear timelines within which activity can be tailored to research or project requirements, for example, to design or refine the project plan, clarify ethical considerations, scope fieldwork participation; or to act quickly to resolve project challenges and/or meet very tight deadlines…
