Sarah Helton
Sarah has worked in the Special Educational Needs/Disabilities (SEND) field for 25 years and has an outstanding track record in a diverse range of roles (Deputy Headteacher, Assistant Headteacher, Teacher, Local Authority Education Officer and Educational Publisher).
She now works as BackPocketTeacher - a consultant, author and trainer in the field of child bereavement, specialising in the (sadly often overlooked) needs of bereaved children with SEND. Her work includes being a training facilitator for the national child bereavement charities Winston's Wish and Child Bereavement UK.
Autumn 2020 Sarah began studying for a PhD alongside her work as BackPocketTeacher. She is researching grief and SEND. Follow her work and research via the BackPocketTeacher website www.backpocketteacher.co.uk on Twitter @backpocketteach and Facebook @BackPocketTeacher.
