Please note: My eldest son died very suddenly on the 27th of May 2017. As such I am taking time to grieve and am not in a position to offer any support to anyone, nor undertake any training or events.

Welcome to my website

My aims are:

• To guide parents and their families through the child protection process through my own extensive knowledge and experiences, providing advice, support and links to other agencies.
• To encourage social workers and parents to work together as experts in the best interests of the whole family.
• To use my experiences to promote humane working practice and help social workers to reconnect and nurture vital human relationships with their service users through my unique, supportive training packages.
• To launch a nationwide parental advocacy programme run by experienced parents like me which will:
  – provide one-to-one support for parents and their families through the child protection process
  – ensure parents and their families have a voice
  – bridge the gap between social workers and service users and promote collaborative and good working relationships.
