Sally Millard
director of finance; co-founder, AoI Parents Forum

Sally was co-founder of the AoI Parents Forum. Over the years, she has produced numerous debates at the Battle of Ideas festival, including ‘Telling off the grown-ups’ and ‘Who should teach our kids about relationships and sex?’

The Parents Forum, set up in 2006, provided a meeting place for those who want to make sense of why parenting is such a focus for policy makers. With concerns ranging from what we feed our children, how we discipline them, and even how we should address them, bringing up kids is still presented as neither a straightforward task, nor a private matter. The Parents Forum allowed discussion on these developments to better understand and respond to them.

Now her children are adults, Sally continues to discuss the questions of the day, as a member of The Future City book club, by attending public debates, and as the director of finance for a small not-for profit research organisation.
