About Rachel

Rachel, as our Head of Service, provides oversight to all The Yard’s services.

As a qualified and registered Social Worker, Rachel has dedicated her career to enhancing the lives of children, with a particular focus on child development, attachment, and the effects of early childhood trauma.

Her leadership at The Yard is informed not only by her professional accomplishments, including managing social care teams and mentoring social work students but also by her personal experience as a parent of a child with Autism.
