Diversity and SEND specialist Frances Akinde drops in with Ellen and Jamie to cut through token gestures and show what allyship really looks like on the ground. She draws on her work co-founding the BAMEed SEND Hub and her punchy book Be an Ally, Not a Bystander to reveal how intersectionality shapes classrooms, corridors and policy meetings alike. Straight-talking, evidence-rich and genuinely empowering.
