    I’m loving this podcast. As a SENCO who is on maternity leave this is a great way for me to stay connected to all things SEND and to keep on learning. Each episode feels like a bite size CPD. Please keep the shows coming!

  • Amazing and informative!

    Excellent podcast with real SEND experts talking about interesting topics that are helpful to any SEND practitioner and specialist. It offers a broad range of topics, including “less explored” topics, such as the LGBT /SEND intersection in relation to schools with SEND provision. Georgina’s presenting style is lovely and warm.
