Biography
I have worked within Medical and Human Science at the University of Manchester since Feburary 2003. My current post is as lead researcher at the Offender Health Research Network. The research conducted by the OHRN focuses on health care work streams pertinent to offenders including primary care; public health; mental health; and substance abuse. The network also undertakes research into service delivary, workforce planning and management. I lead on a project called the ‘OHRN Toolkit’ which aims to outline a clear pathway to the ethics and governance approvals required to successfully undertake health research in the criminal justice system.
Prior to working at the University of Manchester, I was a Residential Care Worker in a Secure Children’s Home. Children and young people in contact with the Criminal Justice System has been the main focus of my research. My PhD investigated the validity of the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) in young people in custody. Research interests include health needs of young offenders; violence risk assessments and psychopathy .
