The Action Factory Podcast
Welcome to The Action Factory Podcast. I’m Michael Dawson, drawing on my experience growing up in the care system, working across NHS, local authority, and mental health settings, and developing what became The Solutions Toolkit at The Action Factory. In this podcast, I share insights from my own journey on both sides of the care system. Together, we explore what really works when communicating with young people in your care. Skills from Solution Focused Brief Therapy, NLP and clinical hypnosis.

Ever witnessed a young person repeat a self-destructive behavior that seems to defy all logic? I know I have. And today, I'm diving into a story I’ve never shared before — not just about the young people I’ve worked with, but about my own inexplicable, self-destructive behavior as a kid. If you're wondering why young people sometimes act against their own best interests, stick around. Because even after decades in this field, I don...
Welcome to The Action Factory Podcast, and it’s great to be back! After a long hiatus due to moving house, I want to talk about how we might save our council a few million pounds.
My name is Michael Dawson, and I developed a universal, principle-based framework for youth work teams. During the design of the Solutions Toolkit, I’m often asked about my experience. It’s broad and covers most sectors, but I’ll always refer to three fant...

Welcome to the Action Factory Podcast, I'm Michael Dawson, the creator of the Solutions Toolkit, the first framework designed for those working with young people in care environments.
In today's episode, we delve into the real, raw experience of the admission process into care — not the procedures and rules, but what it actually feels like for a young person going through it.
