He worked in the drugs and alcohol field for 10 years focusing on adult treatment, children in care, young offenders and as a manager in the NHS working with children and young people in treatment.
Until 2016, he worked as a practising Social Worker and Safeguarding trainer with a key focus on children, young people and their families. James is now a Freelance safeguarding auditor, trainer and consultant working for a range of organisations including the NSPCC, Alcohol Change and In-Trac. He also provides a portfolio of private training in Motivational Interviewing and Safeguarding.

James is evidently very passionate about his role which really shows in his training. Takes the time to ensure everyone is up to speed, understands and that there is no confusion before moving on. Even via video, it felt like in person training where we were free to share and discuss our own experiences. Very much enjoyed and appreciated.
