Research activity per year
I qualified as a social worker in 1994. For 13 years I worked in child protection as a practitioner and manager specialising in work with children and families. I then moved to education and learning where I worked for 15 years in several different organisations both in the statutory and voluntary sectors as an educator and manager. Since 2016, I have worked in the university sector. My research interests are primarily in children’s rights, decision-making, knowledge acquisition and utilisation, and child welfare, and I have published in these areas. I currently lead the European Social Work Research Association’s Special Interest Group, Children’s Rights in Practice. My teaching interests are in child welfare and research methods. I am taking PhD applications on issues connected with children’s rights, decision-making and child welfare.
