Sarah has particular experience in advising the education sector and appreciates the unique challenges faced by schools and universities when considering their data protection compliance.
Sarah aims to give clear and practical advice. She is regularly asked to deliver training sessions and speak at events.
"Sarah’s presentations, and clear communication during the Q and A were both exemplary, in fact it would be safe to say that her communication skills are amongst the best I’ve encountered in my 25 years in education and business.
In fact I cannot think of any more Sarah could have done to offer support to a group of professionals, some of whom could be deemed ‘beginner’ in terms of GDPR, and some of whom were asking some quite advanced and school-specific questions, to build successful working relationships, and promote the high quality work of your company - and as an Ambassador for VWV, Sarah’s time, effort, and excellent inter-personal skills have certainly ensured that I will be recommending VWV unreservedly to colleagues in the future."
Sarah worked for a large multi academy trust before joining VWV. She is the Vice-Chair of Governors for a primary school.
Sarah was an undergraduate at the University of Manchester. She also has an MA from University College London.
