ABOUT ME
Alison Hinton
​
I have over 30 years practice in the social care industry, providing leadership & consultancy to a number of organisations & local authorities throughout the UK, focusing on quality care & meeting the needs of young people. I'm an enthusiastic and dedicated health care sector professional who enjoys being part of - as well as leading - teams to strive for excellence.
​
After several decades of working within children's services, I remain passionate in providing tailored support, whilst keeping the needs of children, young people & their families at the heart of professional practice.
​
My experience stems from working throughout the UK to also providing strategic support to the States of Guernsey - improving the lives of young people.
​
This has led me to building AH Consultants to a professional organisation with tailored support & sector professionals who can make a real difference to organisational delivery, whilst improving the outcomes for children.
