# GCPS Consulting

GCPS Consulting is a Sheffield-based safeguarding specialist firm with over two decades of experience supporting organisations globally to manage misconduct risks, strengthen safeguarding practices and respond to serious incidents. The firm operates through a network of highly experienced consultants who work across six continents, serving international NGOs, charities, humanitarian organisations and major corporations including Oxfam, Save the Children, WHO, and the British Council.

The business addresses a critical gap in organisational risk management by offering three core service streams: capacity development programmes that embed safeguarding culture and prevent misconduct; independent audits and reviews that assess compliance and identify vulnerabilities; and an on-demand expert assistance subscription service providing immediate guidance to safeguarding professionals facing challenges.

What sets GCPS apart is their demonstrated track record with prestigious clients and complex, multi-country interventions. Their work combines strategic advisory with practical implementation—they don't just identify problems but help organisations build sustainable safeguarding systems. Recent projects demonstrate their expertise: a two-year partnership strengthening safeguarding across the Aga Khan Foundation's Afghan programmes, and an independent audit spanning 14 countries for the French Missionary Society. Their investigation work has uncovered serious misconduct and systemic failures, providing organisations with the independent evidence and recommendations needed to make meaningful change.

The subscription-based Online Expert Assistance Service represents an innovative approach to making expert support accessible and cost-effective for smaller teams. This positions GCPS as both a trusted advisor for major organisations and an accessible resource for those building safeguarding capacity.
