Public Policy and Professional Practice

I commenced working at Keele in September 2008. I have 30 years social work experience across a range of disciplines including Children and Families, Staff Development, Planning and Partnerships and Adult Services. For the latter part of my career I managed both provider and assessment and care management services for Learning Disabilities.

I have worked with Universities throughout my career having been a practice teacher myself and also a departmental representative for the development of student learning in the agency. I have also managed a student unit, organised and supported placements and trained assessors and practice teachers across several disciplines.
