Switch Midlands - Expert Impact

Tim Wakefield,

Switch Midlands

Met with Hugh Chappell

We provide social and emotional learning support to children and young people, in particular those considered at risk of exclusion or isolation from their schools, homes or communities.

This comes in the form of our staff delivering support into school or community settings in both school time and the school holidays, covering a range of topics that target personal development, relationships and wellbeing.

My mentoring session with Hugh Chappell was extremely beneficial. He was able to quickly assess the challenges we face, and used his wealth of experience to pinpoint an issue in the organisation . By providing fresh insight, he enabled me to look at the situation differently, offering practical advice and guidance that will prove invaluable for us.
