Emma read Psychology at the University of Liverpool, graduated in May 2013 and then quickly joined Bladon House School in June of that year. Emma has a real passion for positive behaviour support and embeds this within everything she does. She supports teams to develop programmes and restraint reduction plans to improve the young people’s quality of life. Where possible she encourages young people to be involved in their positive behaviour support plan and promotes co-production across the school and homes. Young people are invited to attend regular workshops to learn about NAPPI, positive behaviour and safeguarding. Emma has been a NAPPI trainer since May 2016 and has since continued to coordinate all NAPPI training onsite. She introduced PODs not only to SENAD, but also to NAPPI who now use these in other organisations across the country. Emma has been part of the safeguarding team and in September 2024 took on the role of Designated Safeguarding Lead. She hosts weekly DSL meetings, attends CINs and other relevant meetings/reviews. Emma endeavours to ensure all young people’s voices are heard and that they feel safe whilst at Bladon House.
