She has been an Early Years moderator since 2008 and has worked with many early years teachers across the city to moderate judgements towards the EYFS Profile. She has appeared on two episodes of Teachers TV when the new EYFS (2008) framework was being introduced and she worked with the National Assessment Agency in London to produce exemplification materials and supporting documents for the EYFS (2008) Profile. Kathryn also contributed to a BERA Early Childhood special interest group / TACTYC collaboration on a paper entitled, ‘Policy advice and future research agendas: Early Years.
Kathryn worked part time for Midland Mencap as a play worker and deputy playscheme leader for fourteen years. There, she looked after children who had a variety of medical, social, emotional and physical needs and she offered support for their families including their siblings.
In 2016/2017, Kathryn enjoyed her time with Services for Education on a secondment covering maternity leave. There, she lead a team of established and experienced moderators to deliver EYFSP training, moderation and school visits.

She has worked nationally with key government departments (Departments of Health and Education) to help shape strategy and policy whilst still retaining the focus on working for the best outcomes for children and young people.
