He has always been a champion for self-determination and self-directed support for all in need of support from the earliest days of individual budgets. Nic’s focus has always been on getting it right from the start of a person’s life, and much of this work is centred on challenging people and services to do a better job of supporting children and young people.
Getting it right means getting the support right, which means being person centred is a core strength of Small Supports organisations.
Nic works closely with people of all ages with lived experience; supporting work across Europe as well as in the UK to end the institutionalisation of people; working closely with individual people, families, governments, organisations, health services and local authorities.
Away from work Nic is a passionate wood turner, climber, gardener, walker, cyclist and outdoors person. His two sons, now off on their own adventures, will forever be the ‘apples of his eyes’.
