Managing complex projects in adult social care
I specialise in managing complex projects in adult social care, particularly where success depends on securing the buy in of diverse stakeholders internally or externally. My work ranges from managing sector wide programmes to projects in a local area or for an individual company, and from national policy to the local and operational. I'm also happy to take on short reviews or investigations.
Current and recent work includes:
Managing the national Adult Social Care Data and Cyber Security Programme on behalf of the Care Provider Alliance, Local Government Association, NHSX and NHS Digital.
Being independent chair of the Safeguarding Adults Sub-committee of the national charity Friends of the Elderly.
Working on behalf of the local councils, CCG and ICS in the Dorset area to review arrangements for the strategic engagement of adult social care providers in the local health and care system.
A number of short reviews and investigations for individual care providers.
Previous clients have said:
"Peter was focused, organised and thorough, and delivered quality output within agreed timescales."
"Peter's knowledge, skills and experience, and his ability to act as a critical friend, have earnt him respect across our organisation."
"Peter’s excellent people skills meant that staff at all levels were quickly on board and welcomed the positive challenge Peter brought."
If you are looking for input of this kind, or if you’d like to link up for any other reason, please do get in touch! I look forward to hearing from you.

Programme management for the Care Provider Alliance
The Care Provider Alliance (CPA) brings together all the main representative bodies for voluntary and independent adult social care providers, working to represent the sector and ensure a coordinated response to the major issues that affect it. In the two years from March 2017 I managed CPA projects including sector engagement with STPs, contingency planning and new ways of working in adult social care. There are more detail and copies of the various publications I wrote for the CPA here.
Setting up and chairing an internal safeguarding committee
Having previously led a programme of work to review and update arrangements for safeguarding at Friends of the Elderly, a brilliant national charity which supports older people, I now chair an internal safeguarding committee set up as part of the review. The committee provides assurance for the charity's trustees in relation to safeguarding, and it helps ensure that the charity's safeguarding policy and practice are kept up to date. You can read more about the committee here.
Reviews and investigations
I have also undertaken short reviews of governance and quality assurance arrangements for local and national providers and completed investigations in to whistle blowing, disciplinary and grievance issues.

Dignity and Engagement
Helping care services develop quality and responsiveness
We have now completed two projects helping care homes for older people to increase quality and responsiveness through structured engagement with the people they support, with relatives and with staff. The same methodology could also support services in people's home, and services for other groups. Read about how a Dignity and Engagement project could work for your organisation.
