Speakers

Shaun is a specialist in whole-school inclusion, trauma-aware practice, multi-agency working and contextual safeguarding. After working as a Head of Geography for several years, Shaun became more interested in the pupils who were falling through the gaps. This inspired Shaun to spend a decade teaching and leading in pupil referral units, before returning to Thomas Tallis – a large mainstream secondary school  - where he applied this expertise in his role as Deputy Head for Inclusion, reducing exclusion and improving attendance. Shaun’s innovative safeguarding work has achieved national recognition from Ofsted. 

At The Difference, Shaun has developed and delivered our whole-school inclusion programmes which are improving outcomes for children in mainstream and alternative provision schools across the country.
