CuedIn was developed by me, Emma Beaven, a fellow parent, whilst taking a career break following the birth of my first child. Having my son highlighted some gaps within the current support available for parents and caregivers which reignited my passion for working with families.
I’m a registered Social Worker with extensive experience working with children, families and professionals across New Zealand and Guernsey. Over this time I’ve developed a broad knowledge base and skillset which I bring into my CuedIn mission.
One of my key aims is to work with people and families around prevention and early intervention, alongside helping to bridge the gap between research and practice.
I place emphasis on working with current evidence and research across multiple fields including attachment, trauma, neuroscience, child development, psychology, biology, social work, and organisational theory.
When I’m not spending time with my family, you can often find me out enjoying nature, whether that be offshore rowing, sea swimming or going for cliff walks.
I have a keen passion for what is known about the long-term, positive outcomes when we invest in people & families
I was born in Guernsey and live here with my husband and three beautiful daughters. I initially studied Psychology at University and then went on to study Social Work. I practised as a Family Support worker and then as a Social Worker for Children and Families for 12 years here in Guernsey before taking a career break and having my third baby. Taking this career break enabled me to focus fully on my three girls.
I now feel ready to continue my passion for supporting families with the additional knowledge and experience of parenting my own children. Having three children has certainly opened my eyes to the fact that every child is different, and I feel privileged to be on this journey with them.
