Research

My research focuses on developing interventions that support families, evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and social services, financial social work, economic abuse, child protection, and the service experiences and service pathways of clients who use multiple services. I aim to conduct research that contributes to service development so that social work clients receive the best possible, research-based support.
