QUALIFICATIONS AND MEMBERSHIPS

My name is Sarah Dove and I am an Educational Consultant. Having my own experiences of adversity, these drive my understanding that there needs to be a wider systems approach to drive change within the education system. I have a strong strategic background in education services within in-patient services, children’s care homes, secure units, specialist resource provisions as well as mainstream education.

 

In the last fifteen years, I have led education provisions to ensure every child is able to embrace rather than simply experience education. I have managed to do this whilst balancing parenthood, studying for a PHD and managing Tourette’s syndrome, OCD, PTSD and depression. I have a unique view of mental health services, education systems and the need for inclusion in wider communities. My view is that educators can not only change lives, they can save lives.

 

I combine my academic achievements, my own experiences of overcoming traumatic childhood experience, mental illness and the daily challenges parenthood brings with over fifteen years experience of driving change in the education sector.
