Through storytelling, people with different perspectives can come together and share their common humanity, hopes and goals. The act of telling stories, listening and being listened to in itself, has a positive impact on those learning and working in the SEND system.  This publication,  Small, powerful everyday things – conversations of humanity in the SEND system, gives us an opportunity to read stories from the perspective of learners, their families and professionals working in the SEND system and to think about how storytelling might inform your work.
