I work as an Independent Consultant in Health Education. I have thirty two years of experience in education and working with young people in education and public health settings, formal and informal.

I remain interested in and available for work centred on young people's needs around substance use, sexual health and emotional health and well-being. My experience in these areas is with schools, local education authorities, children's services, primary care trusts, drug (and alcohol) action teams, police services and other agencies. At an international level, I would like to continue and extend my work and experience in eastern Europe, particularly the countries which come under the EU's TACIS umbrella, where I have worked on projects funded by the EU, the World Bank, UNICEF and NGOs. I remain open to invitations to apply or bid for work which fits my skills and experience profiles.

I have been working as an Independent Consultant (that is self-employed) since January 1998. I took the decision to become self-employed at the time when the Inspection and Advisory Service of the LEA I was working in was re-organised and my post as Advisory Teacher for Health Education was made redundant.
