Mary Davies- Director
Mary has a lifetime experience of supporting disabled children and young people and is the proud (and some say loud!) mother of a young man with autism and a learning disability. Mary supported her son through childhood, transition into adulthood and still lives to tell the tale. Hugh recently and thankfully successfully, moved into supported living with some of his friends.
She has personal experience of the complex referral pathways for health, education and social services and importantly understands the difficulties faced trying to navigate them.
As well as being a mum, Mary is a qualified trainer and assessor and has worked as a charity trustee for local charities assisting them to develop their services for disabled children and adults.
In her own words she says that there are no qualifications in the world that can prepare you for the individual journey that every parent confronts when they have a child with a disability. However, she acknowledges that she personally and Hugh benefitted enormously from the support of family and friends and the wisdom, knowledge and advice given freely by other parents of children with disabilities.
Mary has contributed to the BARTS Trust Learning Disability Steering Group, whose purpose is to improve the accessibility of NHS services for children and young people with learning disabilities. From Mary’s own personal experience with Hugh she is only too well aware of the barriers they face and is passionate about raising awareness and improving long term health outcomes for our wonderful, unique, gorgeous children and adults.

Amy Jenkins- Director
Amy has a lifetime of experience working with disabled children and adults. Importantly, her career started in the voluntary sector with the Catholic Fellowship Wanstead and Woodford group when she was just 13 years old, and this is where she met her life long friend Sinead. This friendship is the foundation for her passion and drive and what made her decide that caring had to be her life choice.
Her ambition was to grow and develop as a carer who genuinely cares, and she has maintained life-long relationships with children and young people with disabilities and continues to support their families. This is how Amy met Mary, Gary, Hugh and Grace and was the beginning chapter of Access All.
Amy continues working with children and young people with physical, complex medical,
behavioural and communication needs. As her career progressed she developed into an effective manager and delivered a number of services for children with complex needs in
the borough of Redbridge.
Amy has also worked as an advocate for disabled children and adults, working with
individuals and their families to ensure that they get their “Voice heard” and are being
included. This is where she met Debbie and together we worked to achieve better outcomes
for disabled children and their families.
Amy has a BA honors degree in Special Needs and Inclusion Studies combined with Early Childhood Studies, Level 5 management qualification and a Level 3 qualification in Learning Disability studies. Like Mary she is a qualified trainer and assessor.

Jess Thomas is the Registered Manager of Access All. Jess has supported children and young people with disabilities since 2009. She has a degree in Special Educational Needs and Inclusion and a Level 5 in Management in Health and Social Care.
Jess is also a qualified trainer, she has completed her Level 3 Award in Education and Training and is qualified to deliver training around a range of care topics.
Jess' career started in this field when she worked as a volunteer play worker at a play scheme for children with a range of disabilities and needs. This is where she met Amy Jenkins. Jess loved her time at the play scheme, as not only did she learn a great amount, but she met lots of new people and discovered working with disabled children and young people was her passion and future career.
After studying for a Level Three Qualification in Childcare, Jess worked at a school where she stayed for 5 years, first supporting children with complex autism, including those with challenging behaviour and communication needs, and then moving in the school to support children with profound and multiple learning disabilities including those with complex health and manual handling needs.
Although Jess enjoyed her time working in the school, she continued to work part time for Access All and in 2015 she made the decision to leave education and join Access All full time as a Team Leader for one specific family.
As Registered Manager her passion for her role and working in Social Care has grown even more, and she enjoys sharing her knowledge and experience with our staff and with other organisations.
Jessica says, "I love my role as Manager as there is always something new to learn, someone's ideas to listen to and a new achievement to be celebrated!"
