Biography

I am a Lecturer in Social Work in the School of Health and Social Care. My main research interests and expertise include identifying the predictive and protective factors of injuries of people with learning disabilities and developing risk injury and risk fall injury assessment tools tailored to this population in order to implement the most promising interventions on a broad scale. I am also particularly interested in service provision and the involvement of people with learning disabilities in the design and delivery of health and social care services and education.
