I work as a Technical Advisor for a variety of commercial companies and educational organisations. The role varies according to the organisations needs but usually involves advice on safe practices, training and assessing staff members, preparing organisations for assessments and a host of other related tasks. It is a part of my work that I really enjoy and on Friday I spent the day working with one of my clients to organise a number of monitoring visits. Over the next few months various sites and activities will be visited and the operations procedures and quality of provision will be reviewed and reported upon.
