It is important parents/carers experiences are heard & acted on. It's as important to be reminded that our kids, disabled people, are not the problem; it is systems that need to change. Everyone deserves the right support to make their valued & unique contribution to the world.

‘Children need their needs met. When their needs are met, we see them thrive’ In our special Woman’s Hour from the BBC Radio Theatre, @BBCNuala looked at support for kids with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) in England & the mums trying to access it for them ⬇️

A joy to be on the Precarity, Inclusivity and Accessibility panel for #TaPRA2024, sharing my work on ‘Directing, Disability, & Ambitions for a Shifting Theatre Climate’, how acting opportunities for disabled people require ‘More than A Lucky Break’. @CanterburyCCUni @sidneydehaan

After a long wait, I had my bone anchored hearing aid surgery yesterday afternoon. It was a pretty stressful (+sweary) experience having had a lifetime of medical procedures, but we’re through the other side. I can now start recovering and in a few weeks time…

@EmmaJoySwai Congratulations Emma! Hope it was a lovely day. I remember that not-so-floppy red hat so well. You wear it so much better than I did;)
