How early intervention and inclusive practice can change outcomes for young people:

With nearly one million young people currently not in education, employment or training, the scale of the challenge is stark.

In this episode, Dr Sharon Smith, Assistant Head of Teaching and Learning (Quality) at Tute Education, explores what those figures really mean for SEND practitioners on the ground.  From systemic pressures and narrow measures of success to the power of early intervention and relational practice, Sharon argues that preventing disengagement starts long before results day.

This is a conversation about courage, alternative pathways, and why changing outcomes for one child at a time can shift the wider narrative.
