Senior reporter for Children & Young People Now

In September I left my position as senior reporter at Children & Young People Now magazine.

At CYP Now I covered early years, education, youth work, child poverty, children's rights, parenting and play.

This included daily online news reporting, analysis pieces for the weekly magazine, profile interviews and investigations.

Examples:

Investigation: Almost half of councils plan to withhold money earmarked for free childcare for disadvantaged two-year-olds from early years providers

News: Local school transport changes 'will fail children with SEN'
