What People Say About Rhian

 Regional Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Adviser:

“Rhian has supported our region throughout significant periods of growth and development in response to VAWDASV.

By working with her we have been able to identify the exact needs of our population and the priorities for our regional strategic approach.

Rhian’s expanse of knowledge, experience and expertise is unrivalled within the field. Crucially, this includes the legislative context, national service developments and innovation as well as practical knowledge of service delivery. 

Working with Rhian meant that we were able to bring key strategic partners together, statutory and voluntary sectors, local and Welsh Government and most importantly, ensured the expertise of survivors was central to all our work.

Rhian is clear on time scales for completion of work and considers all elements of preliminary and post-project planning. The quality of work we have received is simply exceptional.”

Chair, Community Safety Partnership:

“The Community Safety Partnership has commissioned Rhian Bowen-Davies Consultancy to undertake a number of Domestic Homicide Reviews over the last five years.

 The quality of the reviews have been to a very high standard, reflecting the need for an analytical and empathetic approach, whilst also challenging perceptions and bias. Both the review process and outcomes have been welcomed and supported by multi-agency partners. 

 Rhian’s ability to synthesise and communicate complex issues is a significant strength. As a leading practitioner in her field, I have no hesitation in recommending Rhian Davies-Bowen Consultancy.”

DHR Panel Members:

“I just wished to thank you for your commitment and thoroughness reviewing a DHR over the last year. You provided the victims key family members with hope, whilst also increasing their trust in public bodies to assist them with closure to an awful chapter in their lives.

You have raised the bar for future DHR processes which will lead to improvements on how we operate and indeed participate in future reviews. You were a professional and tenacious chair and the rapport you established with everyone was crucial to the process being successful’

I have found the process very positive and I feel the DHR has been a very well managed and co-ordinated process. Every stage has been approached sensitively, well considered and supportive. This is my first DHR and I have felt well guided through the process and felt safe to ask questions throughout.”

Training participants:

“From a base of very little knowledge, I now have a greater awareness and appreciation of DHR. Very thought provoking…..an excellent session very well presented.”

“Personable presenter – really helpful, professional and knowledgeable.”

“Excellent insight…..the best training for a while.”
