Laura is the Tender RE:SET Mentor for schools in Hammersmith and Fulham. She facilitates workshops with children and young people, school staff and parents and carers, helping to prevent young people from becoming either victims or perpetrators of abuse. She is hugely passionate about creating a step change and challenging attitudes which tolerate or condone abuse and discrimination.

She has a BA Hons in Philosophy from the University of York, PGCE from University of Leeds, Masters in Learning and Teaching from University of Oxford and National Award in Special Educational Needs Coordination from UCL.
