Allie is a qualified social worker with a background of childcare. Having started and run a successful childcare business from scratch for nearly a decade, the natural academic route was a BA(Hons) in Early Childhood Studies. Through this, she discovered a vocation for social justice and holistic family working, with the child at the centre of all practice. This lead to a PGDip in Social Work.

Working in charity sector social care and Local Authority Fostering services, alongside extensive experience of working with OFSTED, lead to a sound understanding of the needs of the Local Authority and how a strong service could be run to benefit children and young people. Allie has a passion for therapeutic work, always striving for the best outcomes for children and young people.
