Sue is a qualified teacher and nursery nurse.  She has been working with children and young people throughout the whole of her professional career.  She started her teaching career in 1998 after qualifying from King Alfred's University. 

She has not only spent her career working in different schools, colleges and nurseries within West Sussex, Spain and Bath but also spent 2 years at Barnardo's in Bristol.  Sue now runs her own consultancy business, training and consulting on Safeguarding and Child Protection.

Sue is passionate about safeguarding and specialised in teaching this at Bath College for 9 years to Early Years Practitioners.  This passion in safeguarding led Sue to work for Barnardo's for 2 years where she delivered training to the night time economy both within Bristol and throughout South Gloucestershire. 

Sue empowered this workforce to spot the signs of child sexual exploitation and to voice any concerns they may have.

Sue believes that training should not just be a way to gain new skills and knowledge but it should also be a valuable opportunity to meet and interact with other people; building relationships, sharing good practise and supporting each other through what can be a challenging time.
