Deborah Firat is a parent governor. She has seen first hand the the difference it makes when teachers approach their pupils with unconditional positive regard.
Her son Zak has autism and although he went to a good mainstream school, they didn't have the tools to maximise he potential.
Dave Whitaker (Director of Learning at Wellspring Academy Trust) and Luke Mitchell (Head of Behaviour Support) share what they have learned from years of experience and some guiding principles about how to support the most vulnerable learners.
Dave, Luke and staff at Springwell Academy are changing lives - Deborah's, Zach's and many others' at their school; and it all comes back to unconditional positive regard.
