This week we’re joined by the brilliant Paul Bray, behaviour consultant, safeguarding trainer, and author of Providing Relationships and Sex Education for Special Learners. Paul shares his personal journey from school exclusion to school leadership, and what ignited his passion for inclusion.

Together, we explore:• the difference between inclusion and belonging• what it means to feel seen in school and society• the power of identity, relationships and student voice• why small acts of reflection can lead to big change

Expect stories of community drama groups, bath-time rituals, the Black Nod, and a powerful reminder that being a good teacher starts with being a good human.

Whether you’re a leader, teacher or just curious about how we build spaces where everyone belongs, this one’s for you.
