Our services

What we do

Our work is community-based and focused on improving safety, independence, quality of life and access to appropriate support. We work closely with clients, families, case managers, care teams, deputies, solicitors and multidisciplinary teams to provide practical, clinically reasoned and person-centred support.

Moving & handling consultancy

Clear, practical guidance for safer, consistent care.

Occupational therapy

Clear, practical support for function, equipment and everyday life.

Practice support for organisations

Practical learning for organisations, professionals and services.

Trust & credibility

Specialist, professionally reasoned & person-centred

SupportiveAction is built around specialist experience, professional reasoning and collaborative practice.

Our work is particularly suited to case-managed and medico-legal matters where clear clinical reasoning, practical recommendations and well-documented decision-making are needed. We remain equally focused while remaining approachable for families and care teams who need clear, human explanations rather than unnecessary jargon.

Support Worker

The training was clear, practical, and actually useful for real work situations. Everything was explained in a straightforward way, with good demonstrations and clear reasoning behind correct techniques. It reinforced the importance of posture, risk assessment, and protecting both ourselves and the people we support. I feel more confident applying what I’ve learned in day-to-day practice. Overall, a well-delivered and relevant session. Great quiz at the end which is an added bonus.

Nicole Lavin - Clinical Director

I cannot recommend Dani and the Team at SupportiveAction enough. They keep us updated with our annual mandatory training needs. Dani goes over and above to make the training relevant to our work and breaks the day up with practical elements and meaningful tasks. Brilliant team, very responsive and friendly – absolutely 5* service

Sally Barratt - Support Worker

Training was great, great props provided to train and experience how someone else may feel when being transitioned or moved. Great ideas on different ways to use equipment.

Case Manager

It has been great working with SupportiveAction for the first time with a client who has very complex postural needs. Dani has been a real addition to the multi-disciplinary team and has built very positive relationships with the family and therapists involved. Communication and feedback after visits has been excellent. I will definitely recommend this service.

Lucy Bond - Support Worker

Great session with Dani. She really made an effort to put us all at ease and break things down step by step. I really enjoyed how practical the session was and how Dani made the theory side engaging and fun aswell.

Thank you Dani

Shell Wood - Support Worker

Dani is professional yet approachable and always makes our client feel respected and empowered. The moving and handling training has given us a much better understanding of the specialist equipment we use daily, how to transfer our client safely while protecting her dignity, and how to avoid injury ourselves. Friendly, reliable and person centred.

Case Manager

Working with Dani has been an excellent experience. Her knowledge and expertise in moving and handling are a real advantage for clients, and her work is consistently high quality, with practical recommendations and clear communication throughout. She is always prompt to respond, which makes the whole process smooth. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
