Independent expertise in
children’s services

Welcome to the Maddocks Associates. We are independent children’s services specialists successfully working with many and varied children’s organisations and Local Safeguarding Children Boards across the UK. Operating for over ten years we have a well established reputation. We include some of the comments and testimonials from organisations that we work with on a separate page.

We do not aim to be the biggest organisation working with children’s services, but do aspire to remain very good in the work and advice we provide. We keep our overheads as low as possible. Our accountability is to our customers and clients. We are passionate about helping practitioners, policy makers, managers and providers undertake some of the most difficult work in the UK. We all have many years of experience of working in services and partnerships.

We describe the range of work we do on other pages. We have a particular depth of knowledge and experience in relation to safeguarding, children with special needs, personalised transition and support planning, practice case analysis, assessment and looked after children. This includes work on Short Breaks Assessments and eligibility criteria.

Our services include undertaking work with serious case reviews, training and development, working with services and LSCBs on self evaluations. We undertake discrete work such as investigations of complaints and mentoring. Please see our other pages for more information.

All associates have professional qualifications, are registered with relevant professional bodies and are subject of CRB checks. They are indemnified for professional and public liability.

We hope you spend some time on our site and will contact us if you think we can help you deliver good services for children and families. We welcome inquiries; our telephones are staffed Monday to Friday during office hours on 0114 235 2902 or alternatively send an email to info@maddocksassociates.com
