Families Podcast
MacIntyre want to reach out to as many people as possible and we thought that creating a Family Podcast would be a great, modern way of sharing stories directly from families and from people in the Social Care sector.
Each month Nicola Payne, MacIntyre's Family Engagement Consultant, talks to special guests who share their insights and experiences.
Music by Nigel Hammond. Album cover by Paul Payne Artist.
Episode 18 is now available
In this episode Nicola Payne is joined by Penny Thatcher, mother of Zoe who attends MacIntyre residential school.
Penny talks about the time 3 years ago when Zoe was moving to the school, and about her own experience of going through that transition: how important it was to be included in plans and conversations about Zoe's future.
