Spring Garden Consultancy - Semi Independent Care

Kenn Griffiths was the founder member of Select Associates and is the driving force behind the Solution Focussed Approach adopted by Spring Garden consultancy today. Over the years Kenn has designed and delivered specialised training and consultancy to organisations and individuals within the public and private sectors.

An accomplished trainer and public speaker Kenn’s approach is lively and entertaining. He is an excellent communicator and uses his unique life experiences to illustrate his belief that effective training can only be achieved by fully involving every delegate. This is achieved by using training methods that are non-threatening, reflective and allows the delegates to participate at their own level.

Following military service, which involved close working relations with a number of law enforcement agencies, Kenn was one of the original members of the initiative which led to the formation of Staffordshire County Council’s Intermediate Treatment Programme for Young Offenders. As I.T. Manager, he served on the Stoke on Trent Juvenile Liaison Panel, a multi-agency group involving Staffordshire Probation, Education, Social Services and the Police. The panel met weekly to oversee criminal legal cases involving young offenders.

Kenn has also been involved with Child Protection investigation including members of the Health Authority, Police, Social Services and Housing, in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire and North Humberside. As a Guardian-ad-Litem he has been involved in a number of court cases involving multi-agency co-ordination. He is a former member of Combined Court Service User Group. He has also been closely involved in joint working with Child Protection teams.

He was the driving force behind the initiative to use investigators as professional witnesses in anti-social neighbour disputes and has worked and lectured in this field for several years. He has chaired multi-agency teams involving Police, Housing, Youth Justice and Probation to co-ordinate professional witness programmes.

In 2001 Kenn trained and worked closely with Carmarthenshire County Council and other agencies to form and write their Policy and Procedures for Problem Solving Groups. During 2002 he has acted as consultant with Stoke on Trent City Council to develop their Customer Care Protocal.
