SEND in the Spotlight - Your questions answered, Carrie and David Grant

Download Your questions answered, Carrie and David Grant

Listeners take the starring role this week as we get answers to your queries from a group of people with a wealth of experience and expertise. They don't give out legal advice but they aim to help you determine your rights and what you are entitled to, for your child.

Nuala McGovern welcomes back Carrie and David Grant, BAFTA award winning broadcasters and parents of four children with SEND.

Eleanor Wright is a solicitor with SOS!SEN, a charity which helps parents and families of children with SEND to access their rights to an education.

Kelly Mooney is an Assistant Head and SENCO of a state nursery and primary school rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted in 4 of the 5 categories. She has 25 years experience working with children with SEND.

And in the spotlight this episode is 11 year old Amaya from Norfolk. Her mum Colette wanted to celebrate her daughter's environmental actions on the beach near her home.
