Neil Harris

I began my career in residential childcare in 1984 and qualified as a social worker in 1991, going on to hold senior leadership roles across six local authorities, including Assistant Director for Children’s Services. I have extensive experience across all areas of children’s social care, including safeguarding, commissioning, quality assurance, and national programme development in partnership with the Department for Education.
