"E-learning was a totally new experience to me and to be honest I was a bit apprehensive as I do not see myself as very computer literate. However I found the course was very easy to follow and the format made learning a pleasure. It was great to be able to fit the course around my diary and I would recommend it to anyone."

"Andrea Embleton our 100,000th learner from Northumberland Tyne and Wear Health Trust"

"The online course has been hugely successful and in just 18 months we have trained over 2000 people which is far more than we could have reached with face-to-face training."

"Claire Seymour - Training Co-ordinator, South Tees Local Safeguarding Children Board"

"I am delighted with the Basic Awareness of Child Abuse and Refresher training material we now have access to through the Safeguarding Children e-Academy."

"Dave Herring - Head of East Riding Safeguarding Children Board"

"The online courses have released our specialist trainers so they can concentrate on front line professionals."

"Pauline Beall Business Manager, Stockton-on-Tees LSCB"

"To date we have trained over 2000 people, a feat that would have taken 4 years if we had relied on using previous method of face-to-face."

"Paul Hill - Manager of Bradford Safeguarding Children Board"

"We trained 11,000 staff last year for less than £1 each!"

"Robin Harper-Coulson, Children's Workforce Development Co-ordinater"

Awarded his MBE in 1998 for services to NOTA (National Association for the Development of Work with Sexual Offenders) Tony first qualifed as a social worker in 1977. He worked as a Probation Officer in Manchester and then as a Child Protection Officer for the NSPCC in Rochdale before becoming a manager of the team.

Since 1989, he has been working as an Independent Social Care Consultant and Trainer. In this capacity he has undertaken a wide variety of training and consultative work. This includes single and multi-agency work with Social Services, Health, Education, Probation, YOS and voluntary agencies, mainly in the UK, but also overseas. Tony's work covers a broad range of  managerial, service delivery and developmental aspects related to child welfare/protection. These include: inter-agency collaboration, leadership development, and staff supervision.

Tony is a well know writer and has written several books on supervision and recently wrote a national guide to supervision called "Right from the Start" (CWDC 2008). This is the basis of a national supervision training programme that he is currently co-directing with Jan Wonnacott. Tony has been extensively involved in consultation work with Local Safeguarding Chidren Boards. Last year in conjunction with Prof. Jan Horwath he researched and developed a Self Assessment and Improvement Tool (SAIT) which all Welsh LSCBs are being required to use in preparation for external inspections.          

In relation to practice, Tony has many areas of interest: these include assessment, adult attachment, emotional intelligence and motivational interviewing. He was also the founding chair of NOTA and has been heavily involved in the development of policy and practice guidance in relation to young people who sexually abuse others. He was the external consultant to the development in the creation of the AIM framework for the assessment of young people during his time working with the GMAP service in Manchester. Tony is currently undertaking a PhD at the University of Huddersfield.
