It is our absolute pleasure to welcome a very special guest to the Morethanajob podcast. We are joined by Edward Timpson CBE MP. Edward was elected to Parliament in 2008 becoming the first Conservative to win a by-election since 1982, serving Crewe & Nantwich for 9 years and has since been MP for Eddisbury since 2019. Edward served as Under-Secretary of State for Children & Families from 2012-2015, becoming Minister of the year in 2014 for his commitment to reforms on the age of leaving foster care, which was raised to age 21.

Edward then served at Minister of State for Children & Families for David Cameron & Theresa May. Edward was commissioned by the Secretary of State for Education to review school exclusions and published his findings in the extremely influential ‘Timpson Review of School Exclusion’ in May 2019.

Join us as we discuss foster care, exclusions, behaviour management, how the DfE works from the inside, PE in schools and who is the greatest manager - Sir Alex Ferguson or Pep Guardiola!!
