Consultancy to Schools
I have worked in senior leadership positions in schools for over nine years.
I provide systemic consultation and training to professional groups, specialising in education settings, particularly those for children with special needs and/or at risk of exclusion. I support schools to engage families and work with the wider network; to widen the lens and consider issues of similarity and difference (social GRACES, Burnham, 1992), as well as issues of power and context and the different pressures and responsibilities that impact professionals' work.
Training and consultation will be tailored to meet the needs of your setting and situation.
