‘Lauren is a dedicated and hardworking professional, who has supported the school community with her knowledge and expertise. Lauren supported the school with a child who was displaying challenging behaviours. She worked with the pupil and it was clear to see the impact her calm demeanor has on a pupil in crisis. Lauren talked through various strategies that we could use. Her non- judgmental kindness allowed all staff to feel comfortable to open up to her. Lauren also volunteered her time to support in our ARP for children with Autism. Lauren’s cheery disposition is infectious and all the staff really enjoyed working alongside her.’

'Lauren holds every young person she works with front and centre, ensuring their behaviours are heard, acknowledged, and understood in the most supportive, non-judgemental, and compassionate way. This successful approach in turn supports families to do the same and Lauren is there every step of the way to guide and support. The key thing about Lauren is that she is personable, unphased and exceptionally understanding, having worked with many young people, their families and wider support networks, including external agencies over many years.'
