A former Parachute Regiment Soldier and experienced Safeguarding Trainer, he was awarded an OBE from Her Majesty the Queen for services to the community. He has worked with thousands of young people across the UK and abroad, empowering them to make more informed decisions in relation to their responses to knife crime and recognising the consequences of potential violent and criminal behaviour.

Dean is a member of the Home Office Ending Gang Youth Violence and Exploitation Focus Group and recently retired as a School Governor at 17 Secondary Pupil Referral Units across South Manchester.

Dean specialises in engaging with least-heard communities, those affected or at risk from street-based threats and criminal influences as well as those vulnerable to Radicalisation and other forms of exploitation.

He has shared his knowledge of Guns, Knife-crime, Gangs, County Lines and Child Criminal Exploitation– assisting adult Safeguarders to support children in their charge. He also teaches young learners safety drills to increase their personal resilience to street-based threats, allowing them to exit potentially dangerous situations and divert from criminal influences.
