Staff training and development

Training and development that engages you with lived experience

We are Lived Experience Leaders and skilled facilitators

When we say ‘lived experience’ most people imagine a young person sharing their life story at a staff training day or conference. This is not what we would call learning and development (L&D). In fact, we would go as far as saying that it is unethical. Too often, we invite young people to engage with our L&D without giving them adequate training or support.
</ br>
Our leaders have over 10 years of experience providing training and development, facilitating at the University of Oxford, the Department for Education, and organisations across the UK. Using both personal and professional experience of children’s services, we have harnessed our experiences to produce meaningful training opportunities that help you to better understand young people.

Practice-focused training and development, underpinned by real stories.

We refuse to share ‘the traumatic personal story’ about how a system failed. Instead, we share powerful stories with engaging messages, clear calls to actions, and specific learning outcomes.
