Keynote speaker - Dr Bill Law, UK
Bill is a founding Senior Fellow in the National Institute for Careers Education and Counselling. His current work is in research and development on the uses of curriculum in careers work. That work currently includes developing 'bluesky' thinking for the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority - outlining a possible future for personal and social development in a reformed 11-19 curriculum. Bill is also working on key concepts and effective strategies for the management of integrated school- and college-based programmes - linked to children’s-trust networks. Ideas and support for all this work can be found, and contact made, at Bill’s website: www.hihohiho.com
