Kirk Wilson 
Being a ‘FLO’ is a privilege.
I joined Norfolk Constabulary where I worked my way through the uniformed response roles up to a detective on the covert, surveillance unit where I spent the last 13 years of my career.
In 2008 I completed the FLO course and carried out that role on top of my ‘day job’ within the police.
I was deployed to 28 families/incidents in that time. Ranging from murders, manslaughters, high-risk missing persons, fatal RTC’s as well as national and international jobs.
In 2018 I became a Family Liaison Co-ordinator; this entailed the deployment and welfare of FLOs ‘live’ on a job.
In 2019 I became one of the training team, recruiting and then training the next generation of FLO’s for Norfolk and Suffolk Constabulary.
In 2022 I trained as a TRiM practitioner, and plan to continue to carry out this role alongside my FLO responsibilities.

After completing an MSc in Psychology, I joined NSFT, initially working with the Recovery College before moving into Patient Experience, where I have spent the past six years. My work has been primarily within Children, Families and Young People’s Services, helping to ensure that lived experience is at the heart of service improvement, development and learning. Alongside my Patient Experience role, I completed advanced training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and worked as a DBT Therapist within Youth Services.
I am passionate about providing kind, compassionate support and ensuring that the voices of the people we support, and their families, are at the centre of everything we do. This role is particularly important to me, both professionally and personally, as I strongly believe that meaningful involvement leads to better experiences, better services and better outcomes.

I have worked in NSFT since Feb 2010 starting off as a Clinical Support Worker on Yare Ward at Hellesdon Hospital which started off as a mixed sex ward but eventually changed into an all-male Low Secure Forensic Unit before it then transferred its services to Blakeney Ward Low Secure Unit at Northside House.
I completed my Mental Health Nurse training at UEA in 2018 and then joined Dragonfly Unit as a Band 5 Staff Nurse in Sept 2018 before being promoted to Band 6 Charge Nurse on Dragonfly Unit in Jan 2021.
I have recently qualified as a Systemic Practitioner having just completed the Foundation and Intermediate Systemic Family Therapy course in July 2023 and have loose ambitions to go on at some point to train to become a fully-fledged Systemic Family Therapist but in the meantime, I am hugely honoured and excited to be working alongside Kirk as one of the new FLO’s for NSFT.
Prior to working in NSFT I have worked in a variety of care and mental health settings ranging from residential learning disability care right through to Forensic settings and of course the last 5 years on Dragonfly in a Tier 4 CAMHS setting.
