As a business, we were aware of the importance of safeguarding and risk but the practicalities of embedding a sound safeguarding framework, including creating policies, guidance and educating staff, was beyond our expertise. From our perspective, you can only truly understand the practical implementation of safeguarding through experience, and this is where Darren is best in class. His experience in safeguarding and managing risk means that he fully understands how to analyse the needs of the business and creating a solid process tailored to us.
“Thank you, Darren... really needed that push to ask for help.”
“Thank you for sharing such an inspirational video.”
“Thank you for sharing a personal experience. I like the idea you can be replaced in your job, but can't be replaced as husband, father.”
“Moving story Darren, thank you for sharing.”
“I first met Darren when he was my Detective Sergeant and then became my Detective Inspector. Unbeknown to us we had suffered trauma related breakdowns at the same time and came to know each other whilst on the path to recovery. It was so comforting to know that Darren had been there himself and understood exactly how I was feeling.
Despite his own journey, Darren always made me feel that he had all the time in the world. Darren really sees the value in you as a person and having been through it himself understands fully how fragile and difficult the journey to recovery is.
I can honestly say that Darren’s help and guidance has had a huge positive impact on my life and has changed it for the better. I have no doubt that he will change yours too. He is an amazing mentor and coach and will help bring about positive change in your life as he did mine.”
