Rob Jewell on looked-after children and why Welsh education has got it right – PP118

We had a great time talking to Rob Jewell this week. Rob is Strategic Leader for Looked-After Children in the Gower consortium covering six boroughs in North Wales. Something of an educational celebrity in Wales, Rob shares his insights into the Welsh educational system as well as his experience of supporting looked-after children for many years. Read the blog post about this episode. At the beginning of the episode, Paul mentions this video from Kathryn Lovewell who records her reactions to spending a day with the Pivotal Team at a recent taster session: Paul also feeds back to Paul Bailey who asked a question about restorative practice and what you can do when trying to convince others who are sceptical about the approach.

It might be a child who has experienced difficulty and has found a new path or a child who vehemently disagrees with the way behaviour is managed. It might be a recording of a child in reflective mood or indeed in the mood to rage at the world. More details… NEW!
