Research

I am interested in developing my research profile and my most recent project has been leading a team looking at alternatives for young people involved in county lines activities. We prepared a report for the Home Office on the work of a partner employer's efforts to provide alternatives to those involved in or at risk of involvement in gang activities.

I am part of a team investigated the Vanguard Model approach to systems and service redesign, led by Dr. Rick Hood at Kingston University.

The involvement of fathers in children and families services is an under-researched area and I hope to develop my existing interests, knowledge and skills, particularly in working with fathers.
