Catherine Chanter

Catherine Chanter was born and raised in the West Country.  She won a scholarship to read English Literature at Oxford and went on to work as a lobbyist, both in the UK and the USA.  Somewhat disillusioned with the political process, she returned to England where she re-trained as a teacher and has since led provision for vulnerable and excluded young people in a wide range of settings.   Most recently,  Catherine has worked at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust in London and is currently leading on the delivery of education in an adolescent mental health in-patient service.
