Gayle Moir

Gayle is the SENDIASS Services Manager, having spent 15 years in various roles within the SEND and social care sectors, including 9 years with SENDIASS.

Gayle works with her team, stakeholders and customers to make sure that SENDIASS provides the information and advice that people need.

She still spends time taking calls on the helpline and 1-2 days each month meeting families face-to-face in workshops. It’s the favourite part of her job because every conversation is different. Listening to people keeps her in touch with what’s really happening for children and young people, and being able to offer advice is very rewarding.
