Practitioner-Led Research: finding a space to share your research

I have written a new resource for the CDI, on the dissemination of research produced by CIAG practitioner-researchers. 

This resource provides information and guidance on how to share and promote your research. It is available here.

If you are keen to take your first steps into research as a career development practitioner, I am now leading CPD short courses on this topic at UWS. For further information go to CGD Short Courses Information on the UWS website.

Exploring the relationship between guidance practice and self-care

I've published a new short article on LinkedIn, reflecting on my time as Guest Editor of Veilederforum, where I talk about some of the things that really matter to me as a career guidance professional and academic: continuous professional development; practitioner well-being; domestic abuse; equality, diversity and inclusion and, of course, the gender imbalances in our field.
