Sarah has worked in Social Care, and predominantly children’s social care for 30 years, mainly with children and young people in residential care, education and in the community. She qualified as a social worker in 2008 and during this time worked with asylum seekers and with vulnerable adults before returning to work in a leadership position overseeing a national specialist provision for young people who had experienced trauma and adverse childhood.
Sarah later went on to study for an MA in professional practice within children’s services and developed a supervision training programme for residential staff applying social work theory to this very important process which values residential staff for the support they provide children in any setting.
