general expertise and its relevance for the project

Sara Morgan brings expertise in preventive child healthcare, early identification and intervention, and the organisation of services supporting young children and their families. Through her role within Child Health Services, she has extensive experience of promoting child health and wellbeing, coordinating care across professional boundaries, and supporting the implementation of evidence-informed practices within routine healthcare settings.

As a stakeholder in the VOICE project, she contributes valuable insights into how early support systems for children and families operate in practice, including opportunities and barriers related to access to care, intersectoral collaboration, and continuity of support. Her perspective will help ensure that the project's proposed pathways to care are feasible, responsive to the needs of children and families, and aligned with existing preventive healthcare structures. Her expertise is particularly relevant for strengthening the project's life-course approach and identifying opportunities for earlier detection and intervention across health and community services.
