My name is Tanja Conway-Grim. I work in a variety of roles across the NHS, with police services and charities, especially in the field of autism, ADHD, neurodiversity, co-production, missing people, and suicide prevention. I sit on various strategic autism boards. I am a qualified trainer, a mentor for a clinical leadership programme for doctors as well as for The Girls Network. As a specialist coach I support neurodivergent people in the workplace. I am the Neurodiversity Lead for the charity Locate International.
I have an HND (Dist) in Animal Science, BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences, and an MRes in Forensic Investigation. Developing training is one of the aspects I enjoy most in my work. I am on the autistic spectrum & have ADHD, and I have lived experience of going missing and growing up in care. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my flock of rare breed, primitive sheep, and my many plants.
During 36 years with the Police and then at CEOP and the National Crime Agency as the Manager for Missing and Abducted Children, Charlie Hedges has amassed a wealth of practical and theoretical experience, nationally and internationally and was also responsible for writing national guidance for the UK Police on missing persons and search procedures.
Since 2015 he has operated independently as Charlie Hedges Advisory, continuing to work in the UK and other countries. His focus is on finding new and better ways to safeguard children and adults, then sharing and implementing the solutions. This has led to the creation of the Missing Persons Information Hub (MPIH), providing a link to all aspects of missing persons.

Dr Susanne Knabe-nicol has a BSc in Psychology from the University of East London, an MSC in Interactive Multimedia from the University of Westminster and an MSc and PhD in Investigative Psychology from the University of Liverpool. 
 
Susanne has worked in UK policing for over a decade in the roles of regional intelligence analyst major crome researcher, custody investigator, improvement and evaluations officer, improvement and evaluations coordinator, and change and improvement officer. Before then, Susanne was a uniformed police community support officer in London and now currently works as a lecturer in Criminology, Policing and Investigations at Middlesex University in London. 
 
The reason why Susanne wanted to make relevant research reach the right people in policing is because there is an awful lot of great research being done and published, but then only read by other academics. This just doesn’t make sense to me, and so I started turning research into videos, as every officer can make time to watch a short video, but they might not be able to access and digest a research paper. Susanne set up Police Science Dr to create a broad range of research-based videos and the plan is for a global communication platform for researchers and practitioners as well as a collection of police-relevant courses, all in one place. Susanne happens to have the desire to make research accessible and able to create online courses and interactive videos to help the policing community. 
 
Susanne has also published two book chapters: one on geographic profiling and one on behavioural investigative advice, which are both in Professor Laurence Alison’s book ‘Professionalising Offender Profiling’.
