The foundation of improvement

Audit is The Cornerstone of Quality Assurance in Children’s Social Care

At Pharos Social Work Hub, we recognise that audit is a cornerstone of quality assurance in children’s social care. By benchmarking practices against recognised frameworks, audit provides the foundation for continuous improvement across services, from Early Help to fostering, residential care, and adoption.


With extensive experience since 2016, I have honed my skills in auditing and practice improvement in key areas of children’s social care, particularly in Rotherham, Dudley, Middlesbrough and Southend-on-Sea Children's Services as well as a number of large Independent Fostering Agencies. My in-depth understanding of audit processes ensures that every review contributes to the development of effective and sustainable practices.
