Consulting & Framework Development

For organisations seeking to embed ethical storytelling and culturally responsive practice into their systems, this work goes beyond one-off training.

Consulting and framework development supports organisations to critically examine how they engage with lived experience across their work and to build clear, consistent approaches that can be applied over time.

This may include:

  • Developing ethical storytelling guidelines or organisational frameworks
  • Reviewing existing communications, programs or policies
  • Advising on projects involving lived experience and community engagement
  • Supporting the design of processes for consent, story use and representation
  • Contributing to strategy, program development or research initiatives

This work is collaborative and context-specific, recognising that each organisation operates within its own structures, responsibilities and constraints.

The focus is on creating practical, usable tools that:

  • Align with organisational values and obligations
  • Support staff to make informed, ethical decisions
  • Reduce risk and inconsistency in how stories are used
  • Strengthen trust and accountability with communities

Where workshops introduce key concepts and practices, consulting work supports their integration helping organisations move from intention to implementation.

Engagements can range from short-term advisory support to longer-term collaboration, depending on the scope and needs of the organisation.
