“I really love everything you’ve put together. It’s a massive gap in the curriculum at the moment...it looks like it’s going to be really easy for teachers to use, because I think a lot of staff are quite nervous about having some of these discussions and not knowing all the answers. Whereas you’ve got a nice journey through something that seems to be well balanced.”
