Really looking forward to seeing both the content and the pedagogy for this - how you raise awareness and ensure that teachers feel safe and competent makes a difference to how effective it is.

Today I received hardback copies of ASPIRE to Wellbeing and Learning for All in Early Years and Primary: the principles underpinning positive education. So much work, passion & people supporting a new vision for education. Am humbled and hopeful it will get read by those who care
