I am a qualified social worker and have worked in social care for over 15 years.
I also have a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice BSc in 2008. I have spent
thousands of hours undertaking direct work with children and families. My passion and
enthusiasm started from my personal childhood experience of being looked after by the
local authority. This gives me a unique experience and insight into families and children
who are in contact with local authorities.
Since the start of my Social Work career, I have been in senior roles within various
teams, including assistant team managers and higher-grade practitioner. My areas of
specialism are child protection, youth offending, restorative practice, systematic
practice, parents with learning difficulties and children with disabilities. I have
specialist training to complete PAMS, Parent Assess and AIM 2 assessments.

collaboration of a pool of senior social workers, which includes service managers and
team managers who will also be undertaking assessments for our service.
