Strong IMRs Programme
How to Write, Commission or Quality Assure a Strong IMR
The 12 month programme for those who insist on strong analysis in their review reports
When a request to prepare an IMR lands there’s no warning. For most, there’s no adjustment in terms of the requirements of the day job. And at the same time, the stakes are high & there’s no room to compromise on quality. Timescales must be met. Support for the author to undertake the work for the review is vital. But it’s not the only piece of the jigsaw.
If we expect those who commission, write & quality assure IMRs to be able to respond to these requests when they land, the foundational work is equally important.
How does best practice look when we are commissioning, writing or quality assuring an IMR*? How regularly does it look this way in practice? When the requirement lands it’s natural to want to produce the best quality, but there’s a supportive framework that facilitates that.
Organisations who lay the framework by creating an all-year-round supportive framework are the ones who equip their teams for the on-the-spot requirement. This means that professionals have been involved in structured input & discussion around
👉 addressing terms of reference
👉 proportionality
👉 recommendations
👉 systemic analysis
👉 governance
👉 transparency
But it doesn’t end there. The downloads tend to occur when practitioners have reviewed & discussed a number of IMRs & embarked on an experiential learning journey, offering comments on reports from a variety of reviews.
*Individual Management Report
A one off powerpoint session simply isn't enough. There’s no point in learning this way then not having the support when it’s time to implement the learning in your review. This training offers a year long supportive space for learning & personal development. It applies to IMRs created for Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews, Domestic Homicide Reviews or Safeguarding Adults Reviews.
Do you write reports for reviews or want to offer this as part of your independent practice?
As well as receiving the direct instruction & work to enhance your analysis, in Strong IMRs we offer regular ‘mastermind sessions’ to ensure you receive the benefits of experiential learning.

Testimonials Strong IMR Programme
'I found it all interesting but weirdly the governance part was very interesting.'
'I appreciated hearing the experience of other IMR authors.'
'The combination of reading lists & discussion sessions ... stimulated me to reflect on my own practice, organisational practice and behaviours and it led me to wider reading.’
‘I liked the structure and meeting other team members’.
"You learn from others experience, because you've got different experiences. And I just want to pick their brains. And you don't feel alone. You feel you're part of a team rather than working on your own and that's the whole difference."
"It’s brought me peace of mind that my standards are kept professional, at the top of the game, and that my knowledge is up to date. With SILP it’s ensured that I keep my skills to a certain level. So I lead my reviews effectively."
