I work as the Engagement Manager for Children, young people, parents and carers at CASCADE, the Children’s Social Care Research and Development centre.
I provide advice, guidance, and support to involve children, young people, parents and carers within the Centre’s research portfolio. I am responsible for and lead our Public Involvement groups at CASCADE in addition to working across a range of projects supporting their public involvement. Our core groups include the strategic Involvement Board and our established research advisory groups CASCADE Voices and CASCADE Parents Research Advisory group.
