As chair of the National Association for Managers of Student Services, I get to do some awesome things but nothing is more enjoyable than spending time with student leaders and today I have had the incredible privilege of attending Unloc & Reborn’s Destination Conference as part of the student governor programme at Burberry HQ in London.

A day spent celebrating the power of student voice with some incredible young leaders who have made a difference in their colleges and are now focused on their next steps.

Today was even more special for me as one of the speakers, and my fellow panelist, was Shelagh Legrave CBE DL who has been a huge part of my journey from student president to Associate Principal and has always passionately advocated for student voice.

Student voice is not just a tick box it is a fundamental part of every college and drives development, innovation and quality as well as creating our leaders of tomorrow!
