Linked Department(s): SEN and Safeguarding

Background:

Qualified Social Worker, social work practice educator, currently I work for Barnardos supporting families through specialist parenting programmes along with supervising University social work students.

What I bring to the Governing Body:

I have extensive knowledge of safeguarding children and young people. I have a good knowledge of SEN and currently work with parents/families with children and young people who have Autism, ADHD and challenging behaviour. I am keen to promote an 'education for all' ethos within the school.

Other interests:

Running round for 3 teenagers! Aqua aerobics and walking, currently studying for a Masters in practice education which takes up a lot of my spare time.
