My previous twenty-five years of work as a careers adviser, apprenticeship broker, school based sign language communicator, college based sign language teacher and transition co-ordinator for disabled students enable me to have a particularly informed view of young people and their needs. This interest is reflected in my role as Closing Our Gap steering group member.
I am working towards the completion of my PhD which focuses on the characterisation of mind-mindedness as a relational or dispositional construct.
