Profile
I have worked in London, Kent and Surrey Local Authorities since qualifying in 1992. These departments have included the statutory services such as Child Protection, LAC Children, Adoption & Fostering, CIN and Children with disabilities. These families have been from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds eg. African, Caribbean, Asian and Muslim and Christian faith. I was also a Children Guardian from 2006 to 2008 when I left to become a Locum Social Worker. I now work part-time. I have prepared a number of Court reports in my various roles and have a special interest in Parenting and Special Guardianship Assessments.
