Episode 6 The Pandemic and Diminishing BAME voices – Marguerite Haye

This episode challenges our understanding of the BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) voice in SEND.  Does a BAME perspective even exist in SEND?  Specially Speaking discusses these issues with Marguerite Haye, independent Special Educational Needs Consultant and founder and Director of whatsthebige.com. We discuss language, stigma and deficit viewpoints that impact on how the BAME voice for children, young people and families in SEND is regarded and dealt with.  We also look at solutions as to how we can address and interrupt the current approaches to encourage improved outcomes.
