If you send me an e-mail: I usually respond to e-mails within a week. Much of my work is away from a computer and so I am not able to answer straight away. If I am away on professional development or holiday, you will receive an automatic e-mail response informing you when I will return to work.

Important: If you do not want me to respond to your e-mail, call, or text, please tell me explicitly in your message.
I am the only person who has access to my e-mails.. However, emails are generally not guaranteed to be secure. Therefore, please do not include personal or sensitive information about you or a child.
I do not offer a crisis service.
If you or a child you care for is experiencing suicidal thoughts and is making plans to end your life, please go to your nearest A&E.
