“Hello, I’m Grainne Duffy, Director of 40.1 Consulting.

We’re based in Ireland, and we work to improve family safeguarding policies and support services across departments. Our goal is to make sure  families are protected — not just in theory, but in practice.

Every case we look at tells a story, and we’ve listened to hundreds. That’s why we believe in training, reform, and mediation-first approaches. Because what happens in family court can shape a child’s life for years.

At 40.1 Consulting, we say: if we know better, we must do better. Let’s work together to create safer futures for everyone.
