“Martin's work at the SMART centre [for excluded pupils] has been an integral part of the development of pastoral support for staff members, students, families and schools.  He has been the linchpin in improving links between CAHMS, the SMART centre and families.  He has facilitated staff development and provided methods of support for moving the centre forward.  His work was acknowledged and recognised in our OFSTED inspection January 2007.”
