SEND in the Experts Podcast: Downs Side Up interviewed

Georgina Durrant interviews me for her Twinkl SEND in the Experts podcast

Powerful Podcast

It was a huge privilege to be interviewed recently for the cutting edge Twinkl SEND in the Experts podcast, hosted by author, teacher and The SEN Resources Blog host Georgina Durrant. 

You can listen here as we chat about Natty's journey through education, debate mainstream and specialist school placements, discuss what inclusion really means, unpick what constitutes equitable education and healthcare and signpost best practice for educators and medics alike.

"A lot of parents have fought very hard for our children to have access to mainstream school over the years. And I think there is an unspoken... perhaps... feeling that we are letting the side down if we put our children in specialist setting. It's such a personal decision and it is whatever is in the child's best interest"
