In this episode, Gerry sits down with Ali Fawkes, Head of Social Innovation at Humanly (founded by Jenni Parker) to unpack practical safeguarding and trauma-informed practice in design research. We trace Ali’s unconventional route from fine art and special education into service design, talk honestly about imposter feelings and labels, and get concrete about how to design safely — for participants and practitioners — especially on sensitive, high-stakes work.\nYou’ll learn\nHow non-traditional backgrounds become real superpowers in design\nWhat “designing safely” actually looks like (policies, consent, escalation paths)\nHow to prepare teams for disclosures (e.g., hopelessness/suicidality) without freezing the work\nWhy safer practice reassures clients and improves outcomes\nGuest: Ali Fawkes, Head of Social Innovation, Humanly (London)\nConnect with Ali on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alifawkes\n\nShout-out to SDinGov for the spark.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bbSCGWBz3zqqO7AXkOaFNw5evUGWqKe1HOhqXak5-nM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iZTdi/ZjAyODc0MDkwNjM4/OTdhY2FjZTI1ODY1/M2ZiOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
