My research interests span a diverse and multi-disciplinary academic range including literacy, speaking and listening skills, socio-emotional functioning and wellbeing, and arts education, specifically in relation to collaborative learning and oral storytelling. I have recently been finished a UK-wide research project with Dr Jo Warin at Lancaster University, examining how Primary and Secondary phase and also Specilaist Provision schools are able to embed restorative practices into the culture of school on a prevenative basis.
