Conference: Ashton's Legal 

Recruitment Costs, talk Ashton's Conference


I was delighted to be asked to be a guest speaker at Ashton's Legal conference on 8th November.

I discussed recruitment costs and was delighted to hear feedback afterwards that the information and tips were really useful! It was a great day with some brilliant speakers.

One of the highlights for me was hearing the parental perspective from Laura Walker and her case manager Sarah Pressley rom Bush and Co reminding us all why we do the work we do. As usual a wonderful opportunity to catch up with people we work with and meet lots of new professionals.

Giulia Pintus, Milestones Matter                  

Family-Focused Tailored Early Interventions
Tailored Interventions for children, adolescents and families presenting with emotional, relational, behavioural
and/or developmental difficulties.
 
Milestones Matter create tailored interventions to help families overcome difficulties. 

  • Do you have children (3-18) presenting with emotional, behavioural and / or developmental difficulties?
  • Is your family experiencing child/adolescent to parent abuse?
  • Or are you a family with multiple children supported by several members of staff in need of planning, strategies and supervision?
  • Are you an adoptive family struggling with attachment and family’s dynamics?

 
I have worked for nearly 20 years in the field of intervention and my approach is highly individualised to meet each family’s needs and beliefs; each family is unique and therefore each intervention need to be tailored specifically around the family’s specifics needs.

Call me for an informal chat: 07767 785 087 or  gp@milestonesmatter.co.uk     

(Snap work together with Giulia with clients experiencing very complex situations and require additional support or guidance).

Purple Tuesday, @zoewoodguardian

 
Going Purple Tuesday Blog photoshopping makes Mike Adams feel “very disabled”. He says: “I can go into a shop and be made to feel invisible.
There’s an apprehension. Staff are unsure of engaging with me so they swerve the conversation altogether...

25th Year Celebrations!

Sally and Andrew, directors at Snap, were delighted to be asked to join the Nannytax team for an evening to celebrate their 25th anniversary, in the iconic Shard building on the 15th of this month.
 
The evening was an opportunity to meet fellow professionals and to reflect on how far the company has developed over the years, always seeking to improve and expand their services. One of their newer services for example is for Automatic Enrollment for the Workplace Pension, which all employers have to offer their employees. 
 
Andrew and Sally from Snap at the Shard
Snap have been working with Nannytax from when we first started back in 2001, when we were both considerably smaller! They provide a valuable service to families, employers and agencies, but have also campaigned for nannies to be recognised within a professional arena.
