EDUCATING HORIZONS

"Absolute respect to Sharon White. Sharon White is totally the real deal. Back in 2020, as Inclusion Lead in Barking and Dagenham, Sharon trusted me and empowered me to do the work that has allowed me to do what I am doing now, both within my LA and beyond it. And this work has shaped the future of inclusion in my borough and has influenced practice more widely. Earlier this year, Sharon was the person that said to me, 'Get your ideas out there. People need to hear it.' Sharon believed in me and convinced me to believe in myself and to shout loud about what I believe to be right. The bottom line is, if you want to work with someone who really cares about children and young people's wellbeing and their futures then look to Sharon White and Educating Horizons."

"My Dearest Sharon White seeing you tirelessly support vulnerable children over all these years, leaves me in no doubt that you have my vote..."

"Sharon, you tirelessly support vulnerable CYP over all these years. You leave no stone unturned in making children and young people's lives better."

"The Safe Haven training you delivered was excellent and I learnt a lot about what our role entails."

"Thank you for delivering an insightful training for the team. You brought a different lens looking at disproportionality, intersectionality and school exclusions."

"The Community Safety Partnership Team would like to extend our thanks to you for all your hard work in making the Violence Reduction Unit Research and Evaluation Grant so successful. The work conducted around the YARM and the development of the impact report and presentation was really insightful. Your expertise significantly contributed to the success of the event and the feedback has been extremely positive and has sparked meaningful discussions. Your dedication to addressing such a critical issue in our community is truly commendable, and we are honoured to have had the opportunity to work with you and have you present at the event. Your experience will aid us in our ongoing efforts to combat knife crime and keep children and young people safe. Once again, thank you for your valuable contribution."

"Sharon White is an innovative and inspiring leader who exemplifies creativity, resilience and vision. I have yet to encounter a more selfless professional—someone who consistently empowers others and openly shares best practices to help them become the best versions of themselves. She has an exceptional ability to recognise the unique professional needs of individuals and supports them in realising their vision and purpose. Sharon collaborates with authenticity, listens deeply and treats everyone on her journey with genuine respect, empathy and conviction. A rare gem in today's educational landscape—both in the UK and globally—Sharon truly embodies the principle of rising by lifting others. Her leadership creates space for people of all generations to contribute to building more equitable and sustainable communities."
