Welcome to the Foxes Hotel, the seaside hotel with a difference. At this hotel all of the staff have special needs such as Down Syndrome, Autism, brain damage and mental illness. There are 54 students and all of them work their way through a tough three year placement designed to enable them to cope in the outside world and to handle a job in hotels and catering. There are thrills, spills, tears and laughter in this bold experiment which involves a steep learning curve for kids who have often come from a very protected, almost infantilised home background. Please note this episode is the last in the current series, Season 2 will start in the near future, where we will continue our series with Huw Edwards, more inspiring stories and stories to make you unlock the stigma.
