Can we 'square the circle'? Eva Akins on SEN children and their safe return to education

To some parents, the process of sending their child back to school is fraught with anxiety. When the child is schooled in a system that simply was not built with their specific needs in mind, education can feel like trying to 'hammer a square peg into a round hole'. 

Not only is this hard work, there is a real risk that the peg could be destroyed in the process. 

Eva Akins addresses parents in this brief video on how we can help 'square the circle' and bring their SEN child back to school safely.
