Lynn is a freelance educational consultant, author and blogger. She has worked in primary education for 20 years. During this time, she has had the roles of SENCO and Assistant Headteacher and Lead mentor for an ITT institution. She has taught the whole primary age range, taught in an alternative provision and led an enhanced provision for SLCN. Lynn holds an MA in education, specialising in social and emotional health and special needs. She also holds a NASENCO, NPQH and ELKLAN qualification. Her areas of expertise are special educational needs, wellbeing and mental health (staff and pupil), leadership, mentoring and coaching.

Lynn is also the editor of Teacher Toolkit as well as having her own blog: www.positiveyoungmind.com. This has a wealth of free resources and articles for teacher and pupil wellbeing, SEND, SEMH and SENCOs. Her work with SENCO support is continuing with a ‘SENCO Survival’ book due to be published with Hinton House early next year. This will be followed by another on the topic of SEMH in the early years. She also enjoys writing children’s literature and is currently in the process of having a children’s book published, which is due out in October.
