On Friday I passed my PhD viva! 🥳🎓
The whole experience has been an incredible journey of highs, lows and everything in between

The PhD hasn’t just taught me how to be a researcher; it’s opened up many opportunities and experiences that have had a great impact on me personally & professionally

Today I am excited to be presenting my research findings at the SGSS and Scottish Government Knowledge Exchange Policy Event, focusing on children's mental health and wellbeing, and the role and value of parents/carers as partners with professionals

I was invited to participate in an 'Inclusion Panel' discussion at Moray House, Edinburgh University for the Into Headship Cohort sharing my insights, experiences and research findings on all things children and parent's rights, partnership working and relationships

Busy past few weeks for me presenting my research findings as part of a 3 minute thesis event at Strathclyde University

Not been here for a while - 9 months ago I submitted my first draft PhD thesis. Now on the countdown to my Viva having finished my research and report on all my work.

Very grateful for all the support I have received in getting to this point.

Exciting times 😊

My study is set in the context of lots of children and families policies outlining the role of parents, including
the @scottishgovernment.bsky.social National Parenting Strategy opening statement linking parental value to child outcomes
