We won ‘Best Current Affairs Programme’ at the RTS North West Awards for our documentary on nursery safety. The film was made in the aftermath of a young child’s tragic death. It was a privilege to work on this story, alongside colleagues who approached it with real care.

Was great to make my live radio debut today and to be able to chat about the muscle drug investigation. Even greater to have been able to get on air with my home town station @RadioHumberside and my new home station @BBCRadioManc 🎧
