This week on the SEND Network Podcast, Izzy is joined by RDI consultant Andreja Stefulj. Andrea explores empowerment, self regulation and collaboration between SENCO, teacher and parent to support a child with SEND in school.

• How opening up can help mental wellbeing of SENCOs, teachers and parents alike
• And importantly, how all this can benefit the child at the centre
