Steve taught science in secondary schools for 28 years before moving into advisory work, initially for Hertfordshire and then as a regional adviser for the Secondary National Strategy - Always passionate about practical work Steve believes that hands-on activities are quite simply the best way for young people to learn about science. Moving to CLEAPSS in 2011 enabled him to indulge this interest further and to develop a strong commitment to proportionate, common sense based approaches to managing risk in practical subjects.
