Having qualified with a degree in Applied Social Sciences and as a social worker in 1987, the first 15 years of my career entailed working as a social worker and team manager in Children and Families Social Work.
My research focus is on improving the working conditions of social workers and others in the helping professions.
My recent work focuses on developing and evaluating strategies to enhance the personal resources underpinning emotional resilience at an individual level, developing organisational resilience and designing a competency framework to help social work managers support resilience and wellbeing in their staff.
