I was really honoured to deliver a response to Professor Reeves lecture yesterday evening (thank you @ark-ni.bsky.social). Yesterday's lecture raises important questions on social inequality and provides key areas of reflection in relation to education and the structure of the system.

I am delighted to share that I am the new Director of Kids’ Life and Times survey in Northern Ireland. It is a privilege to build upon the work of Dr Katrina Lloyd, the founding Director, who led the survey with such vision and commitment to giving children a voice on the issues that matter to them
