Botheredness
Botherdness is a word Hywel Roberts uses to describe the kind of authentic care and adult positioning that is deliberate and engages young people with learning.
Hywel’s book and website explore the road less travelled – restoring professional integrity, viewing teachers as storytellers, and nurturing our professional imaginations. Hywel aims to enhance teachers’ understanding of what it means to lead learning, to stand beside children as well as in front of them, whilst developing their knowledge acquisition with compassion, and grounded optimism.

The Difference exists to improve the life-outcomes of the most vulnerable children by raising the status and expertise of those who educate them. The Difference creates specialist senior school leaders, with the expertise to lead whole-school and multi-agency approaches to meeting the learning, wellbeing and safeguarding needs of all children, and most crucially those with high levels of need and vulnerability. Through its programmes, research and partnerships, The Difference learns what works to improve outcomes for vulnerable children, and shares this best practice across its network and the sector.
