I lead safeguarding supervision, consultancy, and workforce development at LPI Education Ltd, drawing on 30 years of teaching and leadership in Catholic schools across the Archdiocese of Birmingham. My work is rooted in statutory guidance, NSPCC principles, and a relational, ethical approach that strengthens professional confidence and psychological safety for staff working in demanding contexts. As a serving Catholic School Inspector, I bring deep experience of Catholic Life, Religious Education, and Collective Worship, supporting schools and trusts to align mission, culture, and everyday practice. I am currently completing ILM Level 7 Executive Coaching and Mentoring to deepen the support I offer to leaders. Alongside this, I co‑host Being the Head, a podcast exploring the realities, challenges, and joys of school leadership. Across all my work, I am committed to helping leaders build cultures where people feel valued, supported, and able to make a meaningful difference to the children and communities they serve.
