Claire Bell – CHEXS Children and Young People Lead

I’m Claire Bell, and this is a little about me. I have built my career supporting children and young people through some of life’s most challenging circumstances.

I have worked with high risk cases in adolescent services and coordinated SEND provision. In every role, I focus on building trust, showing empathy, and communicating clearly to help young people achieve positive outcomes.

Consistent, collaborative support drives my work. I help young people feel safe to engage with services, return to education, and access the right support. I advocate for their needs and celebrate their progress. Seeing children and young people grow in confidence and feel understood motivates me every day.

Strong, respectful relationships sit at the heart of my approach. I listen carefully, understand each young person’s experiences, and work closely with families and professionals to find practical solutions. My trauma informed, person centred practice reflects compassion and respect. I focus on helping children and young people build self esteem, confidence, and resilience.

A quote that guides my work is, “Never look down on anyone unless you’re helping them up.” I create a non judgmental, supportive environment where children and young people feel valued, respected, and ready to move forward with confidence.
