Having worked in education she understands the issues faced by safeguarding leads and delivers bespoke training courses for schools, designed to support staff at all levels to have a greater understanding of KCSIE. Sadie believes in using real life examples to bring training to life and help to keep safeguarding at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

Mental Health is an area Sadie is passionate about and she believes in being proactive rather than reactive when it comes to employee health.
