Susan Staples – Safeguarding & Wellbeing Officer

My name is Susan and I am an Early Years Practitioner i.e. Key Stage 1.
I have occupied this role for 30 years. Early years is so significant as it builds and sets a solid foundation for life. Children in this setting have what I call a tangible `zest’ for life. They are eager and inquisitive to learn everything. My enjoyment is seeing them hunting for bugs and carefully meticulously observing with great captivation, as the bug crawls around their fingers and hands, and then disappears. The look of wonderment and astonishment on their faces is priceless. Even in that moment of creative play learning is taking place. Accoutre takes every aspect of a child’s learning and brings it into the classroom. All learning is valuable. The Wellbeing and Safeguarding aspect of the project is what I focus on. It is so difficult for young people to learn with pain and trauma. My role is to bring in Wellbeing and Safeguarding measures to successfully aid the child’s learning.
Well what can I tell you further about me? I too am a mum of 4 and I have 1 cat. I love reading, exercising and I write fun poetry for children in my free time.
