Responding to harm outside the home: a modular approach
What we offer
Introduction
Responding effectively to harm outside the home, such as exploitation, violence, peer harm, and the harms that emerge in community spaces, requires coordinated partnership action.
These harms often sit outside our thresholds and service categories, and systems often miss them. Real change across a complex system doesn't happen through a single intervention delivered all at once. It happens through understanding what's actually happening, designing systems that fit your reality, and supporting practitioners to work differently.
That's why we've structured this work as a series of modular offers. You can start anywhere that matters most to you—with discovery, or strategy, or practice change.
Each module provides value as standalone work, while also contributing to a coherent pathway of system improvement. As your confidence and understanding grows, you can layer in additional modules to support wider transformation.
Including discovery and contextual mapping, strategy and system design, implementation support, and continuous partnership learning.

What people carry after CSPRs
Professionals involved often experience a mix of emotional and organisational pressure: stress and anxiety, self-doubt, fear of judgement and exposure, and fatigue from prolonged scrutiny. Recommendations may be complex, and the system may be stretched and already overloaded. Under pressure, systems can default to reassurance, control, and evidence-production, which can crowd out the slower relational work where practice actually shifts.
Our offer is built around these realities and around a commitment to supporting recovery, learning, and practical change together.
What we mean by: aftercare
Aftercare is a planned period of support after publication (or after fieldwork ends), held across individual, team, agency, and partnership levels. It creates space to:
process what the review surfaced and what it cost,
make sense of learning in real operational conditions, and
support implementation that is lived in practice, not only recorded in plans.
“It was a serious violence board meeting when the lightbulb moment clicked. Colin’s approach was open, honest, and compassionate. Partners knew immediately that we wanted to make the most of our time working together. Over six months, we were supported to develop our strategy and implementation plan, align it with actions to reduce serious violence and exploitation, and embed a new way of thinking and practising. We felt heard, seen, and more confident. Colin has a real gift for reading the room, joining the dots, and gently challenging colleagues to reflect. Friendly, professional, and deeply committed to reducing harm for children and young people.”
