She was head teacher of a residential complex-needs school with a specialist ASC base. Here she worked closely with the LA at a strategic level, developing local provision for pupils with complex needs, and engaging with a wide range of professionals. Alison retired in 2018, moving back to London, and is currently a governor of two schools and also involved with a number of local charities. She has been a volunteer with Respond’s COSA project and brings a wealth of experience of working with families, young people and professionals, along with strategic management, to the board of trustees.
