What we do

Our experienced professionals and managers have a record of success in social work and social care management roles for local authorities working with children, families and vulnerable adults. We offer a range of consultancy services to enable local authorities to address government initiatives on performance management, joint working and the wider modernisation agenda.

With experience of working with hundreds of authorities, our understanding of organisational dynamics in social care helps us build on what is already good and working well in order to improve efficiency, effectiveness and, most importantly, the outcomes for children and adults.

OLM Professional Services can help organisations address issues around performance management and improvement as well as providing solutions to the challenges created by the changes in children's and adults' services. Notable current projects include:

Working with the Department for Education and Skills and the Commission for Social Care Inspection to provide a Business Support Team in a city council
Undertaking a comprehensive social work workforce review for a Scottish local authority
Carrying out a review of assessment and care management processes for a county council
