I am a Senior Lecturer at the University of the West of England researching the role of risk prediction and decision making in public law interference in private life with a focus primarily on families, child protection and safeguarding. I teach law cross discipline to forensics undergraduates and am the Principle Investigator on the Risk of Risk project (ESCR, £250k) and co-Investigator on the Care Cases Crisis project (Nuffield Foundation, £350k). I also chair my faculty's Research Ethics Committee.
