Maudsley and Bethlem Hospital School
The Pears Maudsley Centre for Children is designed to provide care for some of the UK’s most vulnerable young people experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, self-harm, trauma, and autism. Located in Camberwell’s conservation district, the sensitively designed scheme achieves 10,000sqm of accommodation with integrated landscaping at the heart of an inner-city hospital. Young people are our futures and ensuring their wellness is essential and the health systems that support them a crucial part of resilient and sustainable futures. The Pears Maudsley centre was conceived around the ethos that early interventions prevent long term sickness in young people with mental health challenges.

Education Estates for Every Learner: Designing Schools to Tackle EBSA
Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) is rising across all schools, challenging mainstream settings to balance high expectations with complex pupil needs. The physical school environment is key: thoughtfully designed classrooms, calming spaces, flexible hubs, and communal areas can reduce anxiety, foster belonging, and support re-engagement. The Raedwald Trust can work with schools, architects, and local authorities to shape education estates that are aspirational yet inclusive, embedding trauma-informed practice and relational strategies. By aligning high standards with supportive, well-designed environments, schools can help EBSA pupils feel safe, valued, and ready to thrive.
