    Chrissa Wadlow

    Chrissa is the founder of Sunshine Support. Through her own personal journey she was immersed in the world of 'school avoidance' both on a personal level and as a parent. These experiences have inspired Chrissa to research this further, and as part of her Masters Degree she undertook a lot of work in this area to better understand the problems that increasingly plague so many children in the education system. Through this research, and complimented by the work Chrissa undertakes at Sunshine Support, she developed this webinar and associated blog article that has been cited in many pieces of research into school avoidance and non-attendance all over the world.

    Chrissa has created many resources to accompany this course (referenced throughout the webinar) and breaks down the jargon; helping others to understand the real reason behind why a child cannot attend school and how to remedy it.

    Her interest in SEN and associated complexities inspired her to join the Cambian Group where she was Head of a highly specialist residential school for Autistic children.

    Highly accomplished and motivated, Kelly has experience training school leaders and advocates in representing their educational establishments at SENDIST tribunals.
