I’ve been a barrister for 28 years – I worked mostly in the criminal courts at all levels but I have appeared in other courts too – the most bizarre was representing a client in front of the Church of England Commissioners in West Minster Abbey!
My career has also seen me working for the Criminal Cases Review Commission – reviewing suspected miscarriages of justice. I have been a county councillor and cabinet member with responsibility for Adults services, sports, arts, culture and some aspect of children’s services. So, I have an in depth experience at dealing with the whole statutory sector in the UK.
Currently, I sit on the My Body is My Body Board and Art Shape.
For many years I have been the safeguarding and related subjects for High Speed Training. This includes writing and overseeing all safeguarding courses at all levels (both children's and adults) and topic specific courses e.g: Domestic Violence, Radicalisation, Harmful Sexual Behaviour, Online Safety, Safeguarding in Sport and Data Protection and GDPR etc etc! The courses HST produces are all accredited by CPD and variously have accreditation from Skills for Care, NSPCC and Sport England

The missions
Start with a complimentary 30 minute phone or video conversation. No charge, no obligation, and no pressure to go any further. Tell me what you are dealing with and we will work out together whether I am the right person for it.
