Dr Karen Treisman in conversation with Mrs Sheridan | Episode 6: Legacy, Lessons & The Future
In this powerful series finale, Dr. Karen Treisman sits down with Mrs. Sheridan to look back on four decades of leadership, advocacy, and relational care.
Instead of measuring success by numbers or services opened, Mrs. Sheridan shares how her greatest pride lies in the quiet, human moments: a former pupil fulfilling their dreams, staff returning decades later to call the organisation 'family,' and children flourishing into happy adults.

Dr Karen Treisman in conversation with Mrs Sheridan | Episode 5: How Moore House Grew
In this episode, Mrs Sheridan shares the story of how Moore House Group has grown from its beginnings in 1988 to the organisation it is today, always led by one thing: the needs of children and young people.
From setting up a non-profit fostering agency in the early 90s to creating the Virtual Academy during COVID-19, every new service came from recognising a gap in support and finding a way to meet it.
Mrs Sheridan talks openly about some of the moments that shaped Moore House, including the early Through Care model, the development of a dedicated Psychological Services team to better support staff and young people, and the creation of the In-Touch service, offering ongoing support long after young people leave our care.
We also hear about opening a new academy in Dunkeld with just six months’ notice to support neurodiverse learners, and the thinking behind the upcoming Abercorn Clinic, created in response to the growing need for ADHD and autism assessments.
A warm and honest conversation about leadership, listening, and building services around what young people actually need.

Dr Karen Treisman in conversation with Mrs Sheridan | Episode 4: Why We Care For People Who Care
In Episode 4, the conversation focuses on staff wellbeing, relational leadership and the culture that sits at the heart of Moore House. Mrs Sheridan describes staff as the “engine” of the organisation, believing that if staff are not supported, valued and cared for, the organisation cannot function in the way children deserve.
Together, they explore the importance of visible leadership, reflective practice, professional development and creating a workplace where people feel safe, respected and able to grow. From the Moore House Training Academy and Psychological Services Team to celebrating birthdays, supporting staff through difficult times and recognising achievements, this episode highlights the value of investing in people.
