“Severe bullying at school made me leave full-time education at the age of 13. I overcame my obstacles and having experienced the effects of this first-hand drives my passion for improving the life trajectories of young people and encouraging them to speak up and get support.” says Stephen Willoughby, CEO of The Student Voice
“Thank you to Optimus for recognising the vital role that the voices of young people and children play in creating safer communities and safer futures.” says Jason Tait, Co-Founder of The Student Voice and Director of Pastoral Care at TASIS, The American School in England
