Dr Dave Roberts
A qualified Social Worker and organisational therapist, Dave has worked in residential child care since the early 1990s. He became head of Mulberry Bush training in 2006, leading them to three National Training Awards, in 2007, 2012 and 2021.
He was integral in developing the, award winning, ‘Foundation Degree in Therapeutic Work with Children and Young People’, with the University of the West of England, for which he is programme leader. He has also acted as a Specialist Leader in Education (SLE).
He has developed a range of training programmes that he has delivered across the UK and Europe and currently developing a supervision in schools programme, a topic he has written and presented on many times. His PhD studies, though IoE/UCL, used a case study approach to follow the lives and stories of four children and their families through the children's placements at the Mulberry Bush School.
