Frequently asked
questions.
What to expect before you share documents or commission a detailed review.
What happens during an initial assessment?+
We review a concise outline of your situation, identify the documents likely to matter, and explain whether our scrutiny or advocacy services are a sensible fit.
Do you work for local authorities or public bodies?+
No. Black Sheep Consultants is independent. We work for individuals and families who need evidence-led scrutiny and support.
Can you guarantee a particular outcome?+
No responsible adviser can guarantee an outcome. We provide a careful review, clear findings and a practical route for presenting the strongest evidence-based challenge.
What documents should I send?+
Usually the decision or report being challenged, relevant correspondence, policies, assessments, meeting notes and any chronology you already hold. We will tell you what is necessary before you send a full bundle.
Is my information confidential?+
Yes. We treat enquiries and documents as confidential and explain secure transfer arrangements before detailed records are shared.
Can you support an existing complaint or court process?+
Yes. Depending on the matter, we can review evidence, construct chronologies, identify procedural issues, assist with position statements and support complaint escalation.
Where do you work?+
We support clients across the UK, with a particular focus on Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Wiltshire and surrounding areas. Many reviews can be completed remotely.
