Listening Walkaround — Schools & Education — Wigan
Teachers in Wigan spend every day listening to students. Danny Sculthorpe's walkaround gives them someone to talk to.
Listening Walkaround for Schools & Education in Wigan
Education staff in Wigan are trained listeners — for their students, their parents, their pastoral caseloads. They are rarely in a position of being listened to themselves, particularly about the things that are actually difficult. The staff room dynamic, the professional identity, the visibility of the school environment all make genuine disclosure almost impossible through conventional channels.
Danny Sculthorpe's listening walkaround changes that. Moving through staff rooms, corridors and planning spaces during the natural rhythms of the school day, Danny has conversations that the school environment doesn't usually allow — because he comes with no authority, no agenda and no connection to management or HR.
For Wigan's schools and colleges, the walkaround is available alongside a student assembly, staff INSET session or as a standalone event for staff wellbeing.
