Welcoming Clare Mawson to our Team

We are delighted to welcome Clare Mawson to our team, as a Senior Policy Fellow (Education).

Clare is a Research Assistant at the University of Leeds Institute for Teaching Excellence, and a PhD student at York St John University. Her research interests relate to social justice in education, marginalised learners in Higher Education and the experiences of disabled children in the English education system.

Clare entered academia as a result of her experience in supporting families of disabled children and, as a seasoned advocate, acting on their behalf with educational professionals.

Clare has also developed education initiatives within the community to enable disabled children and their engagement with learning. This work was recognised in 2019 by HRH Princess Anne.

We are thrilled to have Clare on board, and are looking forward to working with her.
