I have extensive work experience throughout my career which includes Teaching,  Research, Service Development, Social Work and Management in both Voluntary and Statutory Organizations. I have recently retired from Bury Adult Care Services where I worked for 21 years in Social Work as an Operational Manager of the Hospital Social Work Team, the Learning Disability Team, the Vulnerable Adults Team and more latterly as the Designated Safeguarding Chair.

During this time I have been involved for over 17 years as a Governor at Langdon Specialist College in Salford which provides for young Jewish students with a learning disability. However my involvement with King David Primary School spans 26 years as both a Governor and former Chair of the Governing Body.  My responsibility includes Special Needs and Safeguarding.

The School continues to be my passion.  My mother attended what was then the Jews School in Hightown before it moved to its present site in Cheetham Hill.  I attended both the Infant and Junior Schools and my three children all attended King David. Three generations. I’m committed to Jewish continuity through the provision of an exceptional Jewish education for our children and grandchildren.
