The Tizard Centre

Making an impact: consultancy at Tizard

One of the central aims of our work at the Tizard Centre is to have an impact on the quality of services and ultimately the quality of life of people accessing services in the UK and further afield. . Recent examples of our work in this area include:

  • The recent revision of the 1993 Mansell Report for the Department of Health
  • The introduction and evaluation of person-centred active support in a number of local and national provider organisations.

We provide consultancy services to organisations in the statutory and independent sectors throughout the United Kingdom, Europe and overseas. Expertise is offered across a wide range of areas including:

  • System-wide service design, service development and staff training
  • Service evaluation, review and audit
  • Deinstitutionalisation and community living
  • Person-centred approaches (e.g. person-centred planning, person-centred active support, positive behaviour support and total communication)
  • Challenging behaviour
  • Autism (Assessment, diagnosis, training and intervention, including early behavioural interventions)
  • Witness assessments
  • Individual needs assessment

Both my wife and I and everyone at the College who had contact with the Tizard consultant have been thoroughly impressed by the consultant's knowledge and professionalism. As parents, her insights and personal experience of the behaviour and issues involved were enormously helpful. A completely positive experience!
