Talks will look at both innovative work here in Norfolk schools, and approaches taken further afield.
Stuart Rimmer, principal of the college, said: 'We look forward to hearing more about Dr Evans' pioneering work for children and young people's mental health services and his perspective on what we do here in Norfolk.'
