Speaking about the event, Kath Fraser, Strategic Development Lead at LLP, said:

“Over the past five years, Liverpool has seen rising levels of need and ongoing impacts from COVID-19. Education in Mind 2025 will bring together educators, mental health professionals, and community partners to share knowledge, explore solutions, and strengthen support for pupils and staff.”

Highlights of the day will include:

Keynote Speakers – addressing pressing themes and sharing practical solutions.

World Café – roundtable discussions encouraging rich dialogue and collaborative problem-solving.

Interactive Marketplace – stalls hosted by services and organisations, offering meaningful connections with schools.

Breakout Workshops & Seminars – tailored sessions covering trauma-informed practices, emotional literacy, and culturally sensitive approaches.

Pupil Voice – creative performances and insights directly from children and young people.

Best Practice Presentations – inspiring ‘good news stories’ and successful strategies from local schools.

Kath added: “Education in Mind is about coming together as a community to share learning, tackle challenges, and build stronger support networks for children, families, and the staff who work tirelessly to support them.”
