Brendan Loughnane

I have worked within the field of SEMH/SEBD for over 35 years, initially as a Residential Social Care Worker in a special school in St. Helens, Merseyside and later as Head of Care/Vice Principal/Director of Outreach and Development at The William Henry Smith School in Brighouse, West Yorkshire.
I now live in Cumbria and work independently as BLOC Training & Consultancy, delivering training and advice to schools and foster care agencies on Mental Health and Well-Being of Children.
I have been involved with SEBDA for 15 years.
