Diane Norris LLB, MA

Geographically Di’s career has followed a journey from London, via Lancashire and Merseyside to the Highlands of Scotland, and has been equally professionally diverse although a common strand has been an enthusiasm for equalities and Human Rights.

Di began teaching sculpture and art in London .After a time bringing up her three sons she took a Law degree and whilst teaching law in Merseyside studied part time for a Masters in Crime, Deviance and Social Policy. A move to Inverness meant a steep learning curve in terms of a transformation to Scottish Law, which she taught, specialising in European Union and Employment Law. She has maintained her personal and professional development by studying Management modules from a distance learning MBA from Herriot-Watt and an SVQ IV in management, and has recently gained a postgraduate certificate in Social Services Leadership.

Di undertook a project for the Highland Domestic Abuse Forum and was the author of a Domestic Abuse Strategy for the whole of Highland. Her current post, of Support Service Manager for Albyn Housing Society, involves managing a team of workers providing Housing Support for over 100 vulnerable adults. Di has chaired the Clinical Ethics Committee for NHS Highland over the last three years as lay representative on a group made up largely of health personnel.
