In this episode Emma Mander and Meg Walls from Great Minds Together talk about a new way for schools to support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. They offer solutions to the challenges facing schools, trusts and local authorities in the face of increasing pressures to respond to the overwhelming need for support.

Emma and Meg offer voices of hope to parents and teachers. Their key messages of openness, transparency and genuine collaboration are inspirational for us all.

Best of all, their approach is tested in the field: working with real families and schools they have a track record of positive intervention and support that reaches some of the most vunerable pupils and families who need not just the help of any agency acting alone - they need all of us, working together.
