Testimonial
“The advice, multiple layered, was timely and accurate. Procedurally we were guided back to our policies and procedures for managing a complaint. Huge thanks to Madalina (Governor Services Manager) for her counsel which included an in-person discussion, proformas, and a draft letter with clear actionable guidance. Governors and complainant are happy with the outcome, and we can now proceed with managing the complaint on a secure footing. The service is highly recommended.”
Sue Davies, Link Governor for SEND, The Garden School, March 2026
