Senior Research Analyst
CurrentI work on a range of projects relating to evidence-based policy and practice to support children and families.I am currently Lead Systematic Reviewer for a NICE guideline on child abuse and neglect being developed by the NICE Collaborating Centre for Social Care, in which SCIE is a partner. This involves co-ordinating a small team of information specialists and reviewers to search and review the evidence base which will underpin the guideline. I also work with a range of stakeholders in the children's services sector, in particular a Guideline Development Group of service users, professionals and academics.I am also part of a team developing a multi-agency training programme on child neglect. This draws on systems approaches to professional practice, as well as scenario-based training, to support practitioners to broaden their understanding of neglect, and how to respond.
