Transforming children's residential care with trauma-informed insight and insightful consulting to ensure Ofsted compliance in residential services.
At Lighthouse Care Consultancy, we’re Damon and Jo - two experienced individuals who genuinely care about children’s residential care and the people who work within it.
Our passion has always been about investing in others: supporting leaders, teams and homes to feel confident, connected and equipped to provide the very best care for our young people. We believe that when people feel supported in an open, honest and relational way, they are better able to create safe, nurturing and therapeutic homes where young people can truly thrive.
With over 30 years of combined experience, we bring clear guidance, trauma-informed insight and practical leadership support rooted in real-world practice. We don’t overcomplicate things, instead we help turn complex challenges into achievable, meaningful steps, always grounded in transparency and integrity.
By balancing structure with compassion, and compliance with creativity, we work alongside you to embed values, strengthen outcomes and lead with clarity and care. Whether you’re opening a new home, navigating inspection pressures or supporting a period of change, we walk with you offering honest support, reflective thinking and a genuine partnership every step of the way.
