No nonsense, just clarity: Why I started LLS Consultancy
Independent maternity case reviews with honesty, expertise, and you at the centre.
When the truth bends, everyone loses
I’ve spent years sitting in rooms, pouring over notes, trying to piece together what happened in maternity care. We’d review endless statements, data, timelines, policies — all the right things — yet somehow the truth could still feel ‘flexible’.
When fear, hierarchy, or defensiveness creep in, stories start to change shape. Despite all the rhetoric about a ‘no-blame culture’ and ‘systems improvement’ it doesn’t feel like the system is set up to give the families the answers or the service that they need.
That isn’t good enough for the families who lived through it, or the professionals who want to learn from it.
“I’ve seen how flexible the truth can be — and I don’t want to be part of that anymore.”
That’s why I launched LLS Consultancy, a new branch of Little Light Support.
It offers a no-nonsense, evidence-based, expertise-backed, honest approach to maternity case reviews: a structured, independent process that reconstructs what happened and answers every question clearly and fairly.
A clearer way to understand what happened
Every family deserves to understand their maternity experience — completely, honestly, and in plain language.
LLS Consultancy uses a multi-step review process designed to:
Reconstruct each case accurately and without bias
Respect emotion, but rely on evidence
Deliver findings that lead to real learning, not just another report
It’s not therapy. It’s not about blame.
It’s about clarity — the kind that helps everyone move forward.
From the inside out
Before founding LLS Consultancy, I worked as a Head of Midwifery with a specialist background in clinical governance and serious incident reviews.
I chaired complex investigations and saw first-hand how emotionally and professionally charged those spaces can be.
I saw the disparity in truths.
I saw clinicians coerced into changing parts of reports.
Inside the NHS, I learned how systems protect themselves.
Outside it, I can finally serve the people they sometimes overlook: the families and clinicians who need straight, human answers.
That independence means I can bridge the gap — offering credible, balanced maternity reviews grounded in real clinical practice and compassion.
Who I work with
LLS Consultancy provides independent maternity case review services for:
🩺 Families – seeking an honest, jargon-free understanding of their care
🏥 NHS Trusts – needing external reviewers or learning-event facilitators
⚖️ Birth workers – requiring expert, unbiased clinical insight
Every review is personal, transparent, and shaped around the needs of the people it serves.
What makes it ‘no nonsense’
Because clarity shouldn’t be complicated.
At LLS Consultancy, I:
Translate complex maternity documentation into plain English
Cut through policy-speak and procedural clutter
Ask the uncomfortable questions that need asking
Provide findings that are constructive, not combative
“My goal isn’t to soften the truth — it’s to tell it well.”
A trusted, personal service
Families often say they’re left with a report but not real understanding.
LLS Consultancy changes that.
You’ll work directly with a named professional — not a faceless team — who’s chaired maternity investigations, understands the clinical realities, and treats your story with dignity.
This isn’t about judging care with hindsight. It’s about making sense of it with integrity.
Looking ahead
Maternity care can only improve when everyone involved faces the truth — with honesty, respect, and openness.
That belief is at the heart of LLS Consultancy: independence, compassion, and straight answers.
If you’re:
a family seeking clarity,
a birth worker needing an expert opinion on a case/client
a Trust looking for objective insight
