In 2021, I designed and led a research project funded by The Laurel Trust with 11 schools in London. This project aimed to develop teachers' research skills in working with children with Social, Emotional and Mental Heath needs, based on the Research Learning Communities model.  The project was supported by Dr Jean Gross and Dr John Ivens, national experts in this field.  Schools designed and tested a change to practice to support some focus pupils, but which eventually led to whole school change.

The findings of the project were eventually published in a book for schools, which I co-authored with Dr Jean Gross.
