December 2022 – Team members Nausheen and Jacqui take part in a podcast for Changing Suits – a podcast for the South Asian community. 

“Community judgement is a constant challenge faced in the South Asian community. But it can not feel anymore hurtful when eyes are on your child. Bal & Taj talk to @Swindon SEND families voices Nausheen and Jacqui about why families from the South Asian community aren’t forthcoming about reaching out for help to support a family member with special needs. 
 
The podcast also focuses on personal experiences of how families are alienated, as well as the daily struggles that are faced. But with every child comes the beauty of seeing milestones in development, which means even more.”
