Baroness Massey of Darwen
Baroness Doreen Massey of Darwen has been a Labour Peer in the House of Lords since 1999 and has a particular commitment to promoting children's rights.
She was formerly a teacher and education advisor, graduating from the University of Birmingham with a BA in French Language and Literature and a PGCE in Education. She also has an MA in health education in which she subsequently specialised, with a particular focus on preventing drug and alcohol misuse and promoting sexual health.
Baroness Massey has been involved in a number of children's rights-related committees in the House of Lords. She currently sits on the EU Home Affairs Sub-Committee which led the recent inquiry into the situation of unaccompanied migrant children in Europe. She previously led the all-party Children Group and has been involved in inquiries relating to affordable childcare, adoption and the age of criminal responsibility. She is also a Parliamentary Delegate to the Council of Europe, working on issues relating to violence against children.
