I am an Equality and Diversity practitioner, author and programme facilitator. I have built my knowledge from years of experience in the equality field applied to human rights, housing, social justice, education and learning & development. I bring enthusiasm, innovation and humour to working environments. My Ph.D. research looked into legitimacy and accountability, human rights, and the voice of disabled people.
I have worked as in education for many years, as a highly skilled practitioner, advisor and programme facilitator. I have a sound knowledge of equality issues, their social context and academic theory. In addition I have expertise in the subjects of inclusive practice, learning and development, ethical leadership and system transformation. I seek to bring passion, innovation, humour and energy to every job. As a visiting lecturer I have delivered training to childcare professionals, nursery practitioners, teachers and independent learners at professional, at honours and masters and Continual Professional Development levels
As represented by the Sustainable Development Goals, matters of equality rarely deal with the interests of the disabled population directly, and their characteristic voices are seldom in evidence within conversations that inform on global debates. As a group the disabled population are ignored, their knowledge silenced, they are viewed as untrustworthy speakers, and denied their role as storytellers. Academically, this silencing is critical to the methodological, ontological and epistemological concerns of many subjects, lack of a recognised terminology for this has led to a denial of organisational impact as an issue of accountability, leading to an undefined injustice in society more widely. An ethnographic description enabled an exploration of organisational culture with an ableist sensitivity, using language policy as tool of analysis, to identify its multiple narratives.
