In this session we will explore what is commonly understood by the term ‘hard to reach’ and what this understanding leads practitioners to conclude.

Karen has a professional background in health visiting and her research and teaching activities reflect this prior experience. She gained most of her professional practice experience as a health visitor in Salford and moved to the University of Central Lancashire, Preston in 1998. She has a particular interest in the support of parents in the early years and how services might be organised to support improved community health and well-being. Her own PhD completed in 2008 at King’s College, London, was funded by a DH training fellowship grant which allowed her to research health visiting involvement in parenting support programmes.
Linked with her interest in the subject ‘hard-to-reach’ she has co-authored publications considering factors associated with parental engagement and practitioner approaches for working with families.
