I’ve been working in safeguarding since 2009. Including safeguarding for substance misuse in Tower Hamlets, leading on the Hidden Harm agenda for children and young people affected by parental substance misuse. I was shortlisted for a London Safeguarding Children Partnership Award 2012.

The Drug and Alcohol Action Team also won a Local Government Chronicle Award in 2018 for Best Team in recognition of the partnership working including the work I led with partners in Children’s Services.

Since 2019 I have worked with Redbridge as a trainer and supervisor in the Education team. The safeguarding landscape in schools is ever changing and I have been privileged to support so many schools during this time.

I want to offer therapeutic support to those who have been working on challenging safeguarding issues within the public sector.
