These are the things I know about imagination, trust, and the worlds people build when you stop correcting them, at eight or at eighty.

Parliament's 2025 Conclusion: The Family Courts Are Causing Harm

Parliament's 2025 Conclusion: The Family Courts Are Causing Harmby: Kate

Parliament said the system is harmful. The system continues. Those two facts placed alongside each other are the accountability gap.

A government report naming the harm is not accountability. It is the beginning of accountability. Five years on, the evidence of what has happened since.

BOOK KATE TO SPEAK

Build a world together, and trust follows.

Your people are being asked to trust each other across distance, across generations and through constant change. Most have never been shown how.

Kate Markland has. For a time she had one hour a week with her son Gabriel, on a FaceTime call. They spent it building a world. She asked one question, wrote down everything he said and corrected nothing. That world became three books and a method tested in nine UK schools.

In her keynote, Create the World You Want, Kate shows your audience how trust is really built, and gives them a method they can use the same evening.

For leadership, education and family audiences.

STORYQUEST

StoryQuest gives children the freedom to imagine, speak and be heard without being corrected, guided or rushed. It begins with a story. But what families create together is something much bigger: connection.
