He has been Head of Lancaster Royal Grammar School since 2012. The school has grown significantly over that period and has welcomed Sixth Form girls as boarders and day students. It has been judged Outstanding in all categories in three successive Ofsted boarding inspections. \nChris was previously Deputy Head of the Perse School\, Cambridge.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society\, and regularly writes resources for schools on natural hazards and environmental change. \n\nDavid Walker\, Director\, BSA \nDavid is the BSA Director and joined the BSA group in August 2023. He has over 20 years’ experience in boarding schools and has worked in a range of schools in the UK and Africa\, alongside being a prep school governor and a trustee of a MAT. Before taking up his post at the BSA\, David was Deputy Head Pastoral at a large co-ed independent school in the South-East. \n  \n\n \nDale Wilkins\, Senior Director\, BSA Group \nDale joined the BSA during Summer 2017 with responsibility for safeguarding and standards\, having previously been a course tutor since 1998. In July 2019 he also assumed responsibility for the BSA’s training programme\, including both day seminars and accredited training courses. Dale leads on all safeguarding and inspection matters for the BSA\, including managing the Commitment to Care Charter and has also developed a process of BSA Accreditation for our international members. He also liaises with ISI\, Ofsted and DfE on matters relating to compliance and inspection standards\, and compiles the BSA Self-Assessment toolkit\, which he first produced in 2002\, since which time he has been closely involved in inspection in state and independent boarding. \nFor 31 years Dale was a boarding practitioner. After boarding positions at Norwich School and Tettenhall College\, Dale became a Housemaster at Old Swinford Hospital in 1992\, and was promoted to Deputy Head in 2007\, and subsequently also DSL. He has also been a multi-agency trainer for the Dudley Safeguarding Children’s Board. \n\nMark Brooks\, MBA\, Director\, Brooks Education \nMark began his career as a marketing executive with the Financial Times in London and moved on to become the marketing manager for a theological college\, and then for a leading boarding school in Oxfordshire. At both establishments Mark revolutionised the student recruitment processes and saw pupil numbers reach record levels. During this time\, he also completed an MBA\, focusing on schools marketing. His specialisms are marketing strategy\, school turnaround and boarding recruitment. He has advised heads and governors at major IAPS\, HMC and GSA schools in the UK and overseas.

Carrying principles from the IB forward to St Edward’s he developed an alternative series of qualifications to sit within a middle school suite alongside GCSE.  This involved working with the support of Buckingham University to create a rigorous moderation and authentication process. \nMatthew has an almost fervent belief in the value of a broad curriculum in supporting the development of a young person. He is an advocate of the maintenance of sport and the Arts alongside more stereotypical classroom learning all the way through to 18. With this in mind he advocates curriculums such as the IB diploma and perhaps a little overzealous about the Theory of Knowledge course. \nMatthew has held a post on senior leadership for 12 years\, 9 years at St Edwards as Deputy Head Academic and then latterly as Headteacher at Burford School\, an academy of 1500 students in the Cotswolds with Boarding House attached.

He has worked in boarding schools for 18 years as a teacher of Drama and Theatre Studies\, alongside boarding roles that include House Tutor\, Housemaster and Director of Boarding. Steve led Holyport through a significant pastoral restructure in 2021 that not only gained an upgrade of Ofsted’s judgements but also instigated an increased commitment to staff wellbeing. \n  \n\nHelen Cullen\, Head\, Sexeys \nHelen is Headteacher of Sexey’s School\, an 11-18 years Church of England SBS. Having previously been a Pastoral middle and senior leader well being of staff and students is something Helen is passionate about and during the schools improvement journey has been a key priority.

If there is affluence\, how can there also be neglect? \nSadly\, affluent neglect is a real issue and concern\, and can be particularly challenging to identify and manage where signs and indicators may look different to those in under-resourced families. \nThe power relations between safeguarding practitioner and parents can provide an additional layer of complexity where there is resistance to intervention and support\, and the signs of neglect can often be emotional/mental rather than physical. \nThis interactive seminar that also involves delegates in group work and reflective practice draws on messages from research and practical application to explore affluent neglect and working with affluent parents. \nTraining topics will include: \n\nWhat is affluent neglect?\nIdentification and support\nUnderstanding and working with the power relations between safeguarding practitioner and affluent parents/carers\nCase study example for group-work and reflective practice\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nDevelop an increased understanding of what affluent neglect is\, and how to spot it\nConsider strategies to provide support\nUnpick the power relations between safeguarding practitioner and affluent parents that potentially impact safeguarding effective safeguarding practice\nReview the practical application of identification\, and implementation of strategies for managing affluent neglect through case study review.\n\nBOOK NOW \n\n \nRussell Davis\, DSL\, Colegio San Patricio Moraleja \nRussell Davis\, originally from California\, USA\, brings with him a background in Economics and secondary teaching.
