Prevention and early intervention to improve child well-being

Biography

I work on a variety of projects concerned with evidence-based prevention and early intervention to improve child psychosocial outcomes, with a focus on service design and evaluation. I have undertaken studies involving a range of methods, including evidence reviews and randomised controlled trials, and covering a variety of subject areas, such as bullying, child maltreatment, youth offending and social-emotional learning. I am particularly interested in family financial well-being and means of supporting it.

I am on the board of the European Society for Prevention Research, a member of the Evidence and Evaluation Advisory Panel of Foundations – What Works Centre for Children and Families, and on the Evidence Panel for the Xchange registry of evidence-based programmes (hosted by the European Union Drugs Agency).
