In this week’s podcast Dale Pickles from B Squared is joined by Sarah Jane Critchley to discuss the Recovery Curriculum, designed to help heal the trauma of COVID 19.

We ran a little longer than normal, so this show has been split into two parts, but don't worry the second part will be available as soon as you've finished this one.

In a post-COVID world, many children in our schools will have experienced a number of losses and the schools they are returning to are not the same as the places they left.  They have lost routine, structure, friendship, opportunity and freedom.  How can listening to them and their parents help their academic as well as emotional recovery?
