I am also on the module team for the L1 module 'Perspectives on the Life Course'. I am an academic and personal tutor for level 1, 2 and 3 students, a placement academic tutor for L3 students and a L3 dissertation supervisor. I am joint staff lead for the social work HUB (service user expert) group along with Celia Keeping. I am also the BSc Social Work admissions lead.
