In this presentation, I speak to approximately 100 police officers about my experience of reporting historic child abuse and the lessons I believe could help improve the way these cases are investigated.

Using a series of real-life analogies and personal experiences, I explore topics including:

• Why victims often struggle to remember childhood abuse in detail.

• Why children don't always recognise abuse as abuse.

• Why disclosure can take years or even decades.

• How emotions can resurface during police interviews.

• My own police investigation and why it resulted in No Further Action (NFA).

• Questions I've been left asking about the investigation process and safeguarding after cases don't reach court.

My aim isn't to criticise individual officers. It's to contribute to the conversation about how we can better understand victims and continue improving investigations into child abuse cases.

If this video makes you think differently, I'd encourage you to share it with someone else. Conversations are how understanding grows.

A live recording of my primary school session exploring emotions, body safety rules, online safety, secrets, speaking up, and the long-term impact of keeping difficult experiences hidden.

In this session, I take Year 5 and 6 pupils through a series of interactive games and challenges while sharing parts of my own life story — from what happened to me as a child, to working in aerospace and supercar engineering, receiving a job offer from Red Bull Racing Formula 1, and the mistakes I made later in life when I reacted emotionally instead of seeking support.

Throughout the session, we explore:

- feeling uncomfortable, unsure, or worried

- body safety and online safety rules

- trusted adults and speaking up

- emotional regulation

- peer support and kindness

- dreams, ambition, and future careers

- the importance of education and listening in class

The session is designed to help children understand that:

- they are never to blame for someone breaking safety rules

- difficult feelings should not be carried alone

- speaking to trusted adults is a sign of strength

- reacting impulsively when angry can have lifelong consequences

- their future ambitions are achievable

This recording is part of my ongoing work developing safeguarding education through storytelling, interactive learning, and lived experience.

Thank you to the staff and pupils involved in this session.

What does the age of consent actually mean?

And why is it different depending on where you are in the world?

In this episode, I explore those two questions in real time. No script, no over-preparation — just a genuine attempt to understand something that affects young people everywhere, but that most of us can’t confidently explain.

We look at how the law works, where these ages have come from, and why countries have ended up with such different answers — from 13 to 21.

Along the way, this raises bigger questions:

Are we getting this right?

Should it be higher?

Should it be lower?

Or should we be thinking about this in a completely different way?

This isn’t about giving perfect answers. It’s about starting a conversation that we should all feel more confident having — especially when the safety of young people is involved.

If this episode made you think, share it with someone else and let’s keep the conversation going.
