    I have worked for over 12 years as a Family Services Manager for a small charity. During that time I developed and managed a large team for Support Workers and Volunteers, providing a high quality support service for families. I was also the Child Protection Officer for the organisation and have a broad knowledge of safeguarding both Children & Adults. Whilst managing the support services I felt that it was important to remain grounded in the work so I also ensured that I took a hands-on approach to management and was involved in a service-user forum.

    I am also a Tutor and have written, developed and delivered a number of short courses in the community, including Parenting a Child with ADHD, Stay Calm & Count to 10, Managing Behaviour, Understanding Anger, Parenting: A Child Development Perspective, Introduction to working with Children and Healthy Living. I am also a licensed facilitator for the Cygnet Programme, a parenting course for parents who have a child with Autism. I am also trained in facilitating evidence based programmes such as HENRY, The Solihull Approach and Strengthening Families (10-14). I have also delivered training to Professionals, including, Social Workers & Care Home Workers delivering training in Autism Awareness and Managing Stress & Empathy Burnout.
