Personal profile
Personal Statement
Now officially retired, I hold an honorary appointment as senior research fellow in the Department of Social Work and Social Policy and in CELCIS - the Centre for Excellence for Children's Care and Protection - at the University of Strathclyde. I am editor of the Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care and guest editor (2022-24) of Youth. I served as trustee of Who Cares? Scotland (2005-11) and as a non-executive director of Kibble Education and Care Centre (2013-2023). I was awarded the Strathclyde Medal in 2016 for making 'an outstanding contribution to the success of the University of Strathclyde and for demonstration of the University Values.'
