Executive Advisory 

​Woods Consulting has over a decade of operational experience in child protection and safeguarding nationally.
 

This has provided a solid foundation to advise governments, insurers and organisational boards of the current state of systems and enable meaningful and practical solutions towards better outcomes for children. 

​

Our advisory services have been utilised by: 

  • federal and state governments to advise on child protection legislative reform

  • insurers to advise on trauma informed claims management, risk management and exposure 

  • organisational boards building for effective safeguarding oversight 

  • improving practice and responding to critical incidents 

​

Audit 

​It's vital for organisations to understand their existing gaps, root causes of failures and identify areas for improvement.

 

Our consultants are trained in auditing and have extensive experience in child protection practice, safeguarding system design and quality assurance and we're an approved auditor for Australian Catholic Safeguarding Limited. 

​

Our audit and review services specialise in: 

  • child protection case reviews 

  • organisational safeguarding reviews 

  • safeguarding process reviews

​

Training 

Keeping children safe is a community responsibility. Building awareness of the context around child sexual abuse is critical to ensure children are safe, heard and supported. 

​

We have designed our training to address specific gaps in the market which focus on:  

  • one on one executive safeguarding leadership 

  • understanding and applying child participation principles 

  • safeguarding workshops 

  • point in time tool box talks 

Project Management 

Safeguarding doesn't happen overnight, but it can happen. What makes this happen is if there's a plan in place, it's adequately resourced, clear deliverables and reasonable timeframes. 

 

We understand the challenges facing organisations in implementation of quality safeguarding practices. Critically important is the need to develop and execute a safeguarding strategy. 

 

Our services cover:  

  • strategy development and project sponsorship 

  • identifying priority areas 

  • integration with existing programs of work 

  • project governance and reporting 

  • developing adequate resourcing and budgeting 

  • ensuring quality delivery
