About Nicola

Nicola has over 24 years of experience working with supported adults with a learning disability, working on the frontline as a Support Worker and Services Manager. She supported adults across all age brackets, who also had additional diagnoses of autism, cerebral palsy, dementia, and mental health conditions. She has worked in the statutory, social care and charity sectors for most of her career.

Nicola specialises in learning disability and hearing loss, cerebral palsy, safeguarding adults at risk and empowerment and person-centered support planning. She delivers training that aligns with my professional and lived experience, and secondly, it’s what brings her joy.

Nicola believes that independence, and empowering individuals are really important values which sheweaves throughout all her training. Delegates who come away from training as independent thinkers, confident to take their learning forward into their workplace, will empower service users to developtheirown independence skills.
