Currently, Lisa is undertaking her DPhil studies at The University of Oxford in the Department of Education, asking the research question “How are care-experienced adults’ identities shaped by narratives of being excluded from school?”

Lisa’s new book is Conversations that Make a Difference for Children and Young People: Relationship-Focused Practice from the Frontline (Routledge, May 20 2021).

Good relationships are full of consistency and boundaries, and that is not in opposition to kindness and compassion and the kind of relationships that make a difference. –Lisa Cherry Click To Tweet
