Welcome to season 7 of the Education on Fire Podcast which is focusing on Wellbeing.
My guest today is Shaun Dellenty who has worked in education for twenty years as a class teacher, school leader, improving schools consultant and school governor.

In 2016 he was honoured by the U.K. Prime Minister for services to education and LGBT+ communities and in 2019 his first book ‘Celebrating Difference- A Whole School Approach to LGBT+ Inclusion’ was published by Bloomsbury Education. The book was immediately recommended in UK Parliament.
