Clinical 
Whilst working within the Children with Additional Needs Team, The Priory Children's Centre and F.A.S.T I have assessed, co-ordinated and provided support to children and families with difficulties including behavioural, emotional, substance misuse, domestic violence, mental health, bereavement and relationship/ family breakdown. My work with F.A.S.T has been focused on assessing and supporting children and families with a solution focused approach as part of an intensive therapeutic 10 week program to prevent family breakdown and children entering care.

Supervision/ Consultation
I have experience throughout my working life of consultation and joint working with professionals working with children and families these professionals have included: teachers, support staff, health workers, youth workers and foster carers

Management
Whilst working for Mencap I managed the Outreach Services with the area offering respite and support to families with children with complex and additional needs.I also co- ordinated the special needs services and support through the Priory Children's Centre in Norfolk.
