I have worked as a Children’s Social Worker in Child Protection for 7 years. This has provided me with experience and expertise in the assessment of children and their parents experiencing harm, neglect, mental ill health, domestic abuse, and family conflict. I undertake regular training which focuses on child development research, the impact of trauma, and safeguarding children. I am also trained in how to utilise CBT skills within my assessment work, and I am currently expanding my area of expertise through the completion of an accredited mental health course focused on infant mental health.
