What I Do
Children Progress, Development & Outcomes
Developing new approaches to working with children and young people that place relationships, participation, personal development and meaningful experiences at the centre. Re:Shift provides a space to explore initiatives that go beyond traditional service models and create opportunities for young people to develop, participate and thrive.
Children’s Social Care, Consultancy & Development
Working across Children’s Social Care, supporting providers with service development, regulatory compliance, quality assurance and effective practice. My work includes consultancy, training, registration support and professional development, translating regulatory expectations into practical approaches that strengthen services and outcomes for children and young people.
Research, Writing. Social Work & Social Sciences
Maintaining a strong connection between practice, research and professional debate. My work includes writing, research, academic and professional events, and creating opportunities for practitioners and researchers to exchange knowledge, challenge established thinking and contribute to the development of social work and the wider social sciences.
Through my Mind…
Through my Eyes…
“if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”
Abraham Maslow, The Psychology of Science, 1966
A warning against narrow perspectives in social sciences, emphasizing the limitations of relying solely on a single approach or tool, and encouraging interdisciplinary methods to better understand complex social phenomena.
