As an experienced manager of consultancy services with the NSPCC, I developed and led a team of senior consultants working across the UK and overseas. I contributed to national policy or strategic working groups within and outside the NSPCC.
I have many years of project management experience, developing and producing learning resources, delivering on time and within budget. I am familiar with child-care legislation within the UK, as well as working within an overseas context.
My professional background was as a probation officer specialising as a court welfare officer dealing with contested arrangements for children and as a manager of a social work team, specialising in child protection.
I am a strong communicator at all levels and have a grasp of organisational cultures and systems. I have experience of strategic planning and delivering against objectives as well as a good understanding of social care policy.
Above all, I have a passionate commitment to improving the lives of children, promoting the participation of children and young people and working collaboratively with colleagues.
