Episode 22
This episode is part one of a two part series in which we speak with Ellie Costello, Director of the Square Pegs charity and author of the book 'Square Pegs: Inclusivity, Compassion and Fitting In - a Guide for Schools'. 

In this episode, we discuss the impact of UK politics and economics on the care of SEND children and their families through the lens of Ellie's journey with her son. We unpick what happens to families for whom the systems fail, how they are labelled, new identities they assume, and the unsung exhausting work they take on.
