Kristy Regan

I qualified with a master's in Social Work in 2006 and practised in a statutory setting for over 13 years. During this time, I worked with adults with a range of needs, including physical, mental health and learning disabilities. I then specialised in Adult Safeguarding, first as a Senior Social Worker, then as Governance and Safeguarding Manager.

I joined the University in 2019. I have been a Practice Educator since 2013, and I'm taking on the role of Practice Placement Co-ordinator, as well as Programme Leader for Practice Education in Social Work and Co-lead for Advanced Safeguarding Adults.

I continue to be involved in practice: working independently as a Court of Protection Visitor for the Office of the Public Guardian.
