Woodford is proud to partner with Satveer Nijjar, founder of Attention Seekers? Training, a leading expert in self-harm awareness. With a first-class degree in Psychology, strong lived experience and consistent CPD-accredited delivery, Satveer has trained tens of thousands of professionals to date.

Her award-winning work (Most Inspirational Person, MBBC 2018) isn’t just about theory she brings a deeply human focus, challenging stigma, correcting harmful language, and arming staff with tools grounded in evidence and compassion. Using her training “Attention Seekers? What Is Self-Harm Really About? Woodford ensures our teams don’t just know but truly understand. We invest in training that builds competence, confidence, and empathy: it’s how we deliver care that aligns with best practice, NICE guidelines, and our commitment to a therapeutic model of practice.

First, do no harm. These words are part of the medical Hippocratic oath that underpins the ethics in the health care sector. As a mission statement the social care sector could do well to adopt this in their approach to the care given to looked after children.

I was recommended to Woodford from a friend who is currently working as part of the Woodford group. She advised for me to apply for the registered manager role as she knew my intentions were to work in a professional and established company who could support my development.
