My name is Stephen Hale.

I do digital and strategy work. I am a qualified children’s cricket coach. I used to be in the pop group Cinimo.

Some more about my work:

• Notable pieces of work
• A list of my skills

I think of myself as someone who blogs all the time. The evidence might dispute this, but here are some examples of blog posts by me published on other websites:

• Being on time
• 7 things I’ve learned about social care by doing research in social care
• Can this be an exemplar discovery?
• What you need to know to be technology literate
• Foreign Office blogs: a short history of UK government digital engagement
• A wonky gene and the web – my son and my job
• The end of this blog

Previously, I’ve been director of a digital agency, head of digital for the UK Department of Health, head of digital engagement for the Foreign Office, and I’ve worked in a few other bits of the public sector too.

Here’s Steph saying nice things about me doing some of these things.

I have a personal interest in finding better ways to support autistic people and their families, and I have a thing about some of the more remote parts of Scotland. My ideal job would be coaching a cricket team of autistic children on Iona. If you know of any openings for people to do that, please let me know.
