LISA WARREN

I have been a foster carer for 11 years for a local borough. Caring for looked after children has led me to work closely with various schools and the virtual school regarding the children’s education, health and wellbeing.

I have a strong attachment to The Warren School because my whole family have been educated their including myself, 3 of my children and 2 of my foster children.

I am lucky to have seen the schools great progress over the years not only in the standard of education but in the new buildings and improvements that have been made to the school.

I am the safeguarding academy committee member for The Warren School. Safeguarding has a particularly important place in my heart due to the nature of work I do as a foster carer. I believe every child has the right to a safe and happy life and I am committed to working closely with the school for the safeguarding of every student.

I have a certificate in safeguarding, and I am adult learner studying to become a children’s counsellor.
