Hello!
I’m Nicola
Hello, I’m Nicola Youens, founder of Purple People Limited. I bring over 20 years of specialist experience in advocacy, adult social care and safeguarding to the organisations, families, and individuals I work with.
At Purple People, my mission is simple: to support care providers, charities, local authorities, and families in delivering and accessing safe, person-centred, rights-based care. Whether you seek expert safeguarding training, an independent audit, or advocacy support for a loved one in care, I am here to help.
My Services
Family Advocacy
One-to-one advocacy for families, helping you to navigate the care system and protect your loved ones’ rights.
Safeguarding Audits
Independent safeguarding audits to review and enhance best practice.
Training & Consultancy
Tailored safeguarding training and coaching for managers, staff and volunteers.
With a background leading safeguarding and quality across national organisations, including VoiceAbility, Mind, and the NHS, and qualifications spanning teaching, advocacy, and safeguarding law, I understand the challenges and opportunities within today’s adult social care landscape.
Harnessing Your Potential
I believe safeguarding is about more than ticking boxes. It’s about protecting people’s rights and amplifying the voices that often go unheard. For families, that means having clear, compassionate support when navigating complex care decisions. I’m here to help you ask the right questions, raise concerns with confidence, and make sure your loved one’s wishes, views, and wellbeing are truly respected.
Take the First Step
Whether you are a service provider wanting to enhance safeguarding practice, or a family member seeking guidance, I can help.
Let’s work together to ensure safer, better care for all.
