Biography

I did my Masters in Public Health in 2008, at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and moved straight into a PhD looking at how GPs respond to families who prompt concerns about child maltreatment. 

Before coming to the UCL Social Research Institute in the Institute of Education, I worked in the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health where I did my PhD.
