The IMPOWER team felt like a breath of fresh air. They listened and understand how we operated and accompanied our staff in their daily tasks. They listened to our ideas and the challenges, we faced, working collaboratively with us to address any potential issues and offering invaluable advice throughout the process
IMPOWER demonstrated understanding of our challenges and helped us to progress toward our ambition. The journey through the project (and winning teams over) has been really positive, making a practical impact and delivering benefits through developing practice.
The work with IMPOWER has been really impactful and has made a positive difference for many children and young people, while also delivering £10m in cost savings, showing that if you do the right things for children, you also save money.
Our partnership with IMPOWER over the last 15 months has delivered on our objective to improve outcomes for children and young people. The partnership has also significantly reduced costs and strengthened our financial sustainability. The impact achieved means better outcomes for our children and young people and to enable us to continue to deliver outstanding services while balancing our budget. I have been really impressed with the IMPOWER team’s continued grip on delivery and impact.
It has given confidence to the team in being able to discuss travel with information at hand to make suggestions as to what can be tried next.
IMPOWER’s support over the last two years has helped us to improve life chances for many children and young people in Northamptonshire. Last year they supported the delivery of over £7m cost savings in FY24/25, and we continue to improve. I’ve really appreciated how the IMPOWER team have worked with frontline teams and partners to embed new ways of working, and their constant focus on children’s needs and strengths.
