My main areas of research are exploring community approaches to child protection both in WA and with international partners in New Zealand and Norway; examining the implementation of and evaluating Full Service Schools in WA with reference to the FSS movements in the UK and US; the contribution made by whiteness theory to social work and social policy theory and practice: and decolonising social work practice and the social work curriculum.
