At FWL & Associates, we understand the huge challenges facing the public sector. Our associates have a wealth of first-hand experience across the breadth of children’s services, making us your trusted partner for any transformation or change management project. Rather than arriving with off-the-peg solutions, we will work with you and your stakeholders to understand your needs and challenges. Together, we will identify options for change that will work for your children and families, your local area, and your organisation. With experienced associates from across a range of public sector children’s services, the beauty of our associates model is that you will not only be teamed up with a consultant whose expertise matches your specific project, but you will also be able to tap into the skills and expertise of the rest of our team. Our services are wide ranging, but we have particular experience in: • Special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) agenda – including local offers and the High Needs Strategic Planning Fund. • Needs assessments – in support of the above and as part of the wider Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) process. • Options exploration and appraisal – balancing service user expectations, statutory requirements, service capabilities and resource pressures. • Service redesign – taking you through the whole process from articulating the need for change, through generating understanding and securing political support, to project managing implementation to ensure the benefits are delivered.
