Treading the Line - Improving Wellbeing and Mental Health

In the first of the Halcyon Podcast series released 16th September, Anna Batemen interviews Estelle Morris, former Secretary of State for Education. Estelle is currently working at the Institute of Effective Education and is Chair and advisor for the Birmingham Education Partnership. Estelle shares her vision for ensuring wellbeing is at the heart of every school's vision alongside a good standard of education.
