Testimonial
"Cat is wonderful trainer, ‘walking the talk’ of her restorative values, along with a slice of good humour. Her extensive lived experience in both mainstream and special schools, as a teacher and member of SLT, guarantees her sessions provide genuine ‘doable’ knowledge and skills for attendees to take away, empowering them to become more skilled in the reading and meeting of children’s needs."
