Overview
I am a PhD Student in Cardiff University's School of Social Sciences, in the Centre for the Development and Evaluation of Complex Intervention for Public Health Improvement (DECIPHer).
My PhD is focused on developing a theoretical understanding of Child and Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse (CAPVA) in the context of Wales. I am using participatory approaches, with creative and visual methods.
I feel passionately about building and developing the evidence-base for academics, policy-makers, commissioners and practitioners about what works to address and improve the outcomes of groups at risk of violence and abuse.
