Hello -  I'm Ellie, Director at Square Peg.  We're a social impact community interest company established to raise awareness and effect change on behalf of children facing barriers to attendance and accessing education and learning. We work nationally on policy, practice, research, campaigns, lobbying. We are rooted in the voices of lived experience - parents, carers, children and young people - to drive improvement, inclusion, equality and diversity within all systems families encounter. We are passionate about co-production, wellbeing, mental health and happiness and offer consultancy and training. Our book, Square Pegs, launched in Feb 2023 and hit the Top 100 of all books on Amazon within 24hrs of publication.  It is currently on its 3rd print run, is an Amazon Best Seller and Most Wished For title and has been recommended by the National Children's Bureau to the DfE as core reading. Great to be here and connect. Square Pegs is available to order direct via Crown House Publishing or Independent Thinking Press or via Amazon.
