My mum, Sue Bailey, who has died aged 73, was a research fellow in the school of social work at the University of East Anglia for more than 20 years.
Sue spent almost all her working life at UEA, initially as a researcher in the school of economics before being persuaded by Prof June Thoburn to join the school of social work. There, she was involved in a number of important projects and initiatives including the tri-boroughs care proceedings pilot in London, seeking to improve decision-making in court and reduce delays for children.
