He has worked in dozens of schools, early learning centers, community groups and out of hours school care settings to improve both practice and physical space. Angus has qualifications in Behavioural Sciences and Psychology, Playwork and is currently working towards a Masters of Medical Research investigating how play (in the broadest sense) supports the mental health of children.
