Student advocacy and engaging pupil voice

Kait Weston, Deputy Head (Pastoral) and DSL at Millfield School

Kait shares how students have embraced The Student Voice to share their thoughts, observations and concerns, any time, and from anywhere. It helps them understand the lived experiences of their 1300 students from 70 different countries, and provides a route for disclosures that are unlikely to be made through other routes.

As a school Millfield have a strong educational and emotional commitment to safeguarding and mental health. The tool provides a way to share feedback outside of student and school council meetings.
