Jane Sandeman is the Director of Finance for DACS.

She set up the IoI Parents Forum in October 2006, with two other parents as they wanted to understand why they weren’t just left to get on with bringing up their children but were constantly being told by outside experts what they should do and were always getting it wrong!

The forum has gone from strength to strength and has looked at everything from are turkey twizzlers bad for your children through to discussions about developmental psychology.

Jane has written the foreward to Standing up to Supernanny by Jennie Bristow, published in September 2009 which was written as a result of the Battle for the Family strand at the Battle of Ideas in October 2008.

Jane is also the chair of the Association of Photographers.
