Biography
Biography Prior
to becoming a social work educator and researcher, I worked for several London
boroughs as a child and family social worker, specialising in work with
disabled children and their families. My posts included senior practitioner and
team manager posts and I continue to hold professional registration with Social
Work England. Early in my career, I became interested in clinical social work practice
which led me to gain a diploma in psychodynamic counselling. Later, I studied
at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, where I obtained my professional
doctorate in social work, moving to Middlesex University to take up a senior
lecturer post in social work during this period. Subsequently, I worked for several years at
the Tavistock, leading the MA Social Work programme, carrying out clinical
practice in the Adolescent Department, plus teaching postgraduate research
students on the professional doctoral programme. Since my return to Middlesex,
as Associate Professor in Social Work (research and education), I have held programme
leader and director of programmes roles and am currently professional lead for social
work. I am research degrees coordinator for the Mental Health and Social Work
Department; an active researcher also engaged in knowledge exchange activities.
Teaching As Associate Professor in
Social Work (research and teaching) my roles include Director of Programmes for
MA and PGDip Social Work and BA Social Work (years one and two) qualifying
programmes. I am professional lead for Social Work, corresponding with regulator
Social Work England in relation to the six qualifying programmes based at
Middlesex University, and chair the Faculty Social Work Fitness for Practice
Committee, plus am a member of key Faculty committees (APQC, FLTC). I teach across a range of
knowledge, skills and research modules for Social Work, at undergraduate and
postgraduate levels. This includes social work research (SWK4604); social work
theories and interventions (SWK4801; SWL3408); life course (SWK1004; SWK4605);
readiness for practice skills teaching (SWK4800); children and families
(SWK3334). I also supervise MA dissertations. As part of the North London
Social Work Teaching Partnership, I have co-led cross-disciplinary modules on
MBA/MA Leadership and Management programme, delivering teaching to local
authority senior managers, and have run research and reflective teaching
sessions in the partnership. As Research Degrees Coordinator
for the Mental Health and Social Work Department, I support admissions and
progression of PGR students within the department, chairing panels and working
as a reviewer and examiner internally and externally. I also supervise PhD students and run
methodology seminars at doctoral level. Current doctoral supervision includes: Rahaman Mohammed:
‘Becoming a Social Worker: Learning Social Work Practice in the Placement
Learning Environment’. Emilie Edwards: ‘How can we better support and retain
autistic healthcare students: an analysis of current experience’
Mary Shannon: ‘Family Support, Prevention and Early
Help: endurance and erosion. A decade of writing through policy and practice’.
