Founded and led by a former foster carer, experienced assessing social worker, senior leader in social care, and experienced school governor, CareReady Consulting offers deep sector insight and a practical, solution-focused approach. With experience leading large-scale services across fostering, safeguarding, education, and children’s support, we understand the challenges you face—and how to meet them.
Our Mission:
To reduce drift and delay, raise the standard of support, and help every child thrive in safe, nurturing environments.
At CareReady Consulting, we believe that systems flourish when people are seen, valued, and led with integrity. Our work is grounded in a deep commitment to ethical leadership, purposeful transformation, and outcomes that honour both children and those who care for them.
We do not pursue influence for its own sake. We serve where we are most called, knowing that meaningful change begins with alignment, not applause.
We lead with transparency, courage, and consistency. Our work is rooted in evidence and shaped by what is right—not what is easy.
We hold a deep trust that sustainable change is possible. Our hope is not naïve—it is principled. We believe in restoration, in retention, and in systems that can be redeemed.
We bring strategic insight without losing sight of people. We value outcomes, but never at the cost of compassion.
We see leadership as a responsibility, not a title. We support others to rise, knowing the best systems are those that invest in people, not just process.
At CRC, we do more than consult. We co-labour with local authorities, schools, agencies, and networks to build readiness, strengthen resilience, and shape services that are as just as they are effective.
