About us!

Caroline Irwin

Lead Education Consultant

My name is Caroline Irwin and I have over 25 years of teaching experience in both mainstream and special schools, including residential provision.

I began my teaching career in mainstream secondary comprehensive schools on the outskirts of London and later in Hampshire and from the beginning, I had a strong focus and interest in special education, equality and inclusion.

Please note, Hannah does not complete independent work within Hampshire

My name is Hannah Corrall and I have nearly 20 years of teaching experience in both mainstream and special settings. I currently work as a SENCO in an outstanding mainstream primary school alongside my independent work in SEN.

Assistant Education Consultant

My name is Katie Hamilton and I have over 10 years’ experience as a SEND teacher, as well as lived experience of being a parent to a neurodivergent child. This combination gives me the expertise and first-hand understanding of the challenges families face in navigating education and care systems, and highlights the importance of ensuring every child receives the support they need both in school and beyond.

I am also the Managing Director of New Leaf Together CIC, a Winchester-based community interest company that provides inclusive respite opportunities for young people with severe and complex needs.
