Fiona Turner is a Lecturer in the School of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow, where she co-leads the online distance learning Masters in Infant Mental Health. Her research is conducted within the Centre for Developmental Adversity Resilience (CeDAR) and focuses on interventions that support young children who have experienced abuse and neglect. In her PhD studies, Fiona investigated the impact of committed foster care on children's mental health and attachment disorder symptoms. Her broader research interests include the recovery of children from maltreatment and the alignment of children's needs with responsive support systems. She is a co-investigator on randomised controlled trials run by the CeDAR team aimed at improving outcomes for children and families. Fiona has specific expertise in qualitative research and leads process evaluations aligned with trials designed to explore the context of interventions and the impact on child-caregiver relationships. A recurring theme in her work is the complexity of children's recovery journeys following maltreatment and the interplay between maltreatment and neurodivergence. Fiona is involved in projects aimed at identifying indicators and assessment methods to assist professionals in supporting children effectively.
