What happens when a young person is struggling with behaviour, trauma and school?

In this powerful conversation, Fay Greaves shares lessons from over 30 years working with some of the most challenging students in education.

From dealing with racial abuse and restorative justice, to why consistency matters more than punishment, Fay explains how relationships, fairness and understanding can completely change a young person's future.

One of the most thought-provoking parts of the conversation explores why schools should never use a child's passion as a punishment. Whether it's sport, music, drama or another talent, Fay argues that taking away the one thing a young person is good at can often do more harm than good.

This episode is packed with practical wisdom for teachers, school leaders, parents and anyone working with young people.
