Testimonials from Teachers

"I worked with Emma-Jane on a fundraising speech for one of NSPCC’s largest and highest profile fundraising events. From the outset, she showed commitment I’ve never seen before, or since, to getting it absolutely right. I could see, hear and feel how important it was to Emma-Jane to not just ensure that every single person in the room listened – but that they also donated money. She achieved both – it was a pin-drop moment of the event (which is not easy with hundreds of people at a dinner) and the NSPCC raised over the expected target for her speech.
She is one of the most professional yet humble people I have ever worked with. It is not easy for anyone with experience of abuse to talk about it, and it is never easy to listen to, but Emma-Jane helped everyone hear her words with grace and eloquence. If you need your audience to sit up and listen, even if it’s a difficult topic, Emma-Jane will be able to do it.”

– Ruth Perry, NSPCC

"The presentation and talk had a positive impact on the teachers and made them understand that we are not only stopping children from becoming victims, but also stopping them becoming perpetrators. Emma-Jane’s talk has helped us plan PSHE lessons to focus on healthy, positive relationships online and real life. We are seeing the impact of this.
Emma-Jane is a wonderful speaker and it was a pleasure to host her."

– Sadiya Mahmood, St Edwards Prep 

"Emma-Jane came to speak to our school about the important topic of Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment. The talk was moving and inspirational. It was not based on policy and government legislation but was an enlightening and insightful look into the world of someone who had been abused and what could have been done to stop it. Emma-Jane is an outstanding communicator and engaged our staff from the support staff to the senior leadership. Thank you so much for taking the time, I wish you all the best with your project."

– Jonathan Parsons, Headteacher, St Edwards Prep
