#7 When Experience Meets Its Perfect Purpose with Caroline Crofton
Episode 7
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025
Caroline Crofton knows that being an Education Advocate means being part tutor, part mentor, part listener, and knowing which role is needed in any given moment. She builds relationships with entire families, not just students, because she understands that cancer affects everyone. Working alongside classroom teachers, she creates bridges between hospital experiences and homework assignments, between what was lost and what's still possible. Caroline shares her approach to rebuilding confidence in children who've been through unimaginable challenges, what she's learned from the families who've trusted her with their children, and why the most important work often happens in the quietest moments.Support the show
