Sue Harrison- Director of Children's Services, Birmingham City Council
Sue has worked as a senior leader for several local authorities, including Blackpool where she was Director of Children's Services, and Manchester where she worked closely with school headteachers supporting their school improvement journeys.
Sue started her career as an English teacher in secondary schools in Wigan and Warrington, enjoying working with her pupils and supporting them to achieve their potential. Her drive to work as a champion of all young people fuelled her ambition to rise to the position of DCS, where she feels she can make a real difference striving to join up services around young people and their families, helping to secure a strong foundation and giving them the best possible opportunities in the journey to adulthood.
