School closure - the parents view, How to wow an audience with your public speaking


Listen Later

Last week the Royal National Institute for the Blind announced the closure of the Pears Centre, a children's home and school, run by the charity.

The Pears Centre will shut in November after Ofsted raised significant concerns about the management of the Specialist Learning Centre.
The children at the centre will need to find new placements. We get reaction from Hardeep Rai, a parent, whose son is a resident at the Pears Centre, in Coventry.

And we'll find out how best to wow the audience if you're doing public speaking. We'll report from a new course being run by Blind Veterans UK designed to help servicemen do speeches and presentations - both to help in the jobs market and to act as ambassadors for the organisation. Learn more about how to engage an audience and how to make the most of your body language.

Presenter: Peter White

Producer: Jess Quayle.
