Blogs & conversations In Conversation with: Carole Phillips – ongoing influence of a Fellowship
We spoke to Churchill Fellow Carole Phillips about her journey since receiving a Fellowship ten years ago. As an anti-bullying advocate, Carole shares how her experiences have shaped her work in promoting children's wellbeing. Her Fellowship took her to the USA to study the Olweus Bullying Prevention Programme, inspiring her to develop a finalist anti-bullying programme in Wales’s Police Community Awards. Now with Jigsaw Education Group, she supports schools in implementing PSHE content while continuing her advocacy for children affected by bullying.
