Teaching vulnerable young people will be the subject of a major lecture by one of Britain’s best-known children’s campaigners.
Camila Batmanghelidjh is to deliver the ninth Wales Education Lecture next month and she is expected to challenge educationalists to consider whether radical new approaches are needed to support vulnerable pupils.
Iranian-born Ms Batmanghelidjh, 49, runs two charities – the Place2Be and Kids Company – which have helped an estimated 70,000 youngsters face problems such as bereavement, family breakdown, domestic violence, trauma and bullying.
Kids Company currently delivers services to 11,925 children through 33 inner-city schools in London, and a new, post-14 educational institute, the Urban Academy in Southwark.
