I was elected to the Local School Board in Summer 2024 as a Parent Board Member. 

I am the UK’s foremost researcher and thought leader in adultification bias in child protection and safeguarding. A specialist in the safeguarding of Black children, my PhD research explores safeguarding responses to Black children when harm is outside of the home. I am also a care-experienced professional who started her career in children’s rights and participation and have over 20 years practice experience working in both charity and statutory safeguarding arenas. I am also the founder and Director of an organisation established to amplify the experiences of lesser heard children in child protection research, policy, and practice. I was appointed to Child Safeguarding Review Panel November 2021 for a period of 4 years.
