Sarah Mander

Sarah is a Staff Tutor for Education, Childhood, Youth and Sport (ECYS) with The Open University. She is also an Associate Lecturer for module E102, Introduction to childhood studies and child psychology.

Sarah worked in children’s services and education for around twenty years, primarily within the field of early intervention and prevention. Since becoming an academic six years ago she has published journal articles and book chapters, and is co-editor of Childhood well-being and resilience: influences on educational outcomes (forthcoming, Routledge). Describing herself as a ‘serial student’, Sarah continues to study for a Doctorate in Education, researching the ability of early help services to adequately safeguard children and young people. 

During Sarah’s spare time, she enjoys her family and walking their dog. She is a keen marmalade maker and has somewhat tentatively taken up running during lockdown with the aim of participating in parkrun when it resumes.
