Catherine was formally the principal social worker in Sunderland working primarily with Together for Children with a role in adult services. As principal social worker for five years, she was able to promote the profession and directly support front line social workers.
She began her career in Leeds in the 1980s, having moved from Northern Ireland to study a science degree, but it was the running of the Student Community Action group which set her on the path to social work.
