I have 10 years’ practical experience in the field of child death reviews, and have used my expertise to improve processes at a national level. I contributed to the writing of revised legislation and new national statutory and operational guidance on child death reviews, and have contributed to the development of forms used within the process in England. I have also acted as an international consultant, advising and assisting other countries in setting up child death review processes, and frequently provides advice and support to child death professionals via webinars and conferences.

I am involved in ongoing collaboration with colleagues at the National Crime Agency, Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch, MBRRACE-UK (Mother and Babies: Reducing the Risk through Audits and Confidential Enquiries across the UK), the British Association of Perinatal Medicine, the ROSPA National Home Safety Committee and the National Steering Group on Consanguinity and Genetic Risk.
