Principal Social Worker
Heather qualified with a Diploma in Social Work and M.A in Social Work in 1995 and has worked with both adults and children. She has experience of completing fostering and adoption assessments as well as offering post adoption support. Heather has also worked as a supervising social worker for families who foster, where she has gained experience in helping families to care for children whose behaviour is complex and challenging.
Heather has personal experience of adoption and is passionate about adoption as a means of finding forever families for children who cannot remain with their birth families. She is proud to have been a contributor to books on both adoption and parenting.
Heather is now a principle social worker at Adopters for Adoption after having enjoyed working with us as an independent social worker for three years.
Heather lives in the South of England with her partner, two children, labradoodle “Hamish” and cat “Bella”.
