    3. My own experience of schools and how it informs my views as a parent

    This episode explores my memories of growing up and how I found the UK education system in the 80s and 90s. There are references to self-harm and some other heavier concepts, so I would urge caution if listening around young people. I always try to keep things family-friendly, but I need to cover specific themes to give the complete picture. Thank you, as ever, for listening.
