Liberty/Takiwātanga - Seen Not Heard is a research project into the experiences of some of our most vulnerable children at school to understand great practice and identify ways we can improve.
We’re so excited to be supporting writer Ashlee Sturme, recipient of The Board Member Study Awards, which are sponsored by Crombie Lockwood and Vero Liability and are provided through the New Zealand School Trustees Association, 2022.
Ashlee will be undertaking a research project named Liberty/Takiwātanga - Seen Not Heard discussing how our tamariki who are disabled or have behavioural difficulties access education. She will speak to people throughout the sector and then publish essays detailing the journeys and life experiences of those involved, aiming to provide insight into how these children, their whānau and schools work within the system as well as how the system works with them. Ashlee hopes to break down barriers and bring disability support to the forefront of decision making.
