Stephanie Duce – Parent Governor I am approachable and considerate of other’s views and want to represent the parents of Northfield Lane to ensure that all voices are heard. I currently work as Controls Analyst for a bank and have extensive experience in supporting community involvement and change. I have previously been on the governing body for MENCAP, where I supported with integral aspects of making the organisation stronger. I have also been an independent advocate with vulnerable young children, as well as a befriender with Age concern; allowing me to offer valuable support to the local community. I want to ensure Northfield Lane is the best that it can be by supporting and challenging the areas that matter most and offering time, long term commitment and a balanced opinion. I have experience of making tough and challenging decisions but always approach things pragmatically ensuring any decision reached is thoroughly considered. |
