Hayley Reed
B.Sc. (Hons), M.A.
Research Associate, DECIPHer
- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
I have worked at Cardiff University since 2011 and was originally employed for my expertise in involving children and young people in health research projects. Since this time, I have undertaken a PhD developing intervention theory for the co-production of school-based health interventions. The intervention development study had two phases including a systematic review of co-produced intervention studies and thematic synthesis of stakeholder experiences to articulate theory as well as case study research with two secondary schools to refine it.
I have developed as a health researcher and lecturer with a substantive focus on the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. My methodological focuses are on developing and evaluating school and family-based health interventions, and the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews.
I am currently a Research Associate at the School of Social Sciences within the Centre for Development, Evaluation, Complexity and Implementation in Public Health Improvement (DECIPHer). I undertake the daily management of a National Institute of Health Research project, via the Public Health Responsive Studies Team based between Bristol and Cardiff University. The project is evaluating the impact and implementation of a school-based intervention about ‘Mindset Teams’ in Scotland.

Teaching
I have Associate Fellowship status with the Higher Education Academy. My current and recent teaching experience includes:
Developmental Psychology (Level 5) - I convened an on-line module for LEARN at Cardiff University for undergraduate students and those on the Pathway to a degree in Healthcare.
Research Methods and Policy (Level 6) – I have been a seminar tutor for four years running seminars face-to-face and on-line in the disciplines of Research Methods and Educational Policy.
Developing and Evaluating Interventions in Complex Social Systems (Level 7) – I have been a contributing lecturer to this module within the DECIPHer Research Centre since 2019.
Recently I have been working on projects evaluating the use of Restorative Approaches in families. Most recently, I have conducted a pragmatic formative evaluation of a Veteran mental health intervention which includes an individual-level component based on trauma-focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in conjunction with a family support component focused on a restorative approach.
I am currently undertaking the daily management of a National Institute of Health Research project, via the Public Health Responsive Studies Team based between Bristol and Cardiff University. The project is evaluating the impact and implementation of a school-based intervention about ‘Mindset Teams’ in Scotland.
