Public Speaking
"We were privileged to have Paul speak at our Virtual School annual conference supporting children with a social worker! Paul was truly inspirational"
"Paul spoke at a recent conference for foster carers and adopters and I thought he was fantastic. Given the subject matter of identity, in particular in relation to looked after/adopted children, I was impressed by Paul’s openness about his own childhood experiences. Overall I would say Paul is personable and engaging and I’d recommend him as a speaker."
"A very good communicator and delivered message in a clear and concise manner. Also happy to share information I was able to use with children and young people I work with."
