    At Diagnosis - People who changed our world | S4 | E31
    Apr 30 2025

    CONTENT WARNING - CONTAINS DISCUSSIONS RE: DIAGNOSIS/DIAGNOSES, CHILDHOOD CANCER AND TRAUMATIC BIRTHS.

    Today we’re remembering diagnosis, and the people who made a difference, the people that genuinely changed our world when it got flipped upside down.

    We reflect on the people who have helped us hear the news we don’t want to, as we continue to receive diagnoses, which never get easier to hear, no matter how ‘used to it’ we are.

    Thanks to the lovely folk at Jiraffe for sponsoring this week's episode. You can find more about them and their work here.

    We’d love to hear from you – we love sharing stories, we love hearing how things are going, the good, the bad, the snotty-crying ugly.

    World Changers (feat. Hannah Deacon) | S4 | E30
    Apr 23 2025
    Join Rachel, Sarah and Lucy as we celebrate those people who change the world, be it campaigning for the right to medical treatment, supporting other parents, breaking down barriers, or just making a nuisance of themselves to get the voices of disabled people heard. On this week’s episode we open up by reflecting on some of the world changers we know*, and reflect on why and how this is different for the disability community. Rachel is then joined by Hannah Deacon, whose dedication to campaigning for patients' rights succeeded when the law changed on 1 November 2018, which led to cannabis becoming legal as a medical treatment. Her successful campaign on behalf of son Alfie Dingley, who lives with a rare and severe form of epilepsy, led to his doctors receiving the first schedule one license to prescribe whole-plant cannabis in the UK. You can find more about Hannah and her work at her website. *As promised - Sarah’s World Changers: Lynne Elwell who works with Julie Stanfield who is the CEO at In Control and developed Partners In Policy MakingJayne Leeson - CEO at Changing Our LivesLynne James Jenkinson - CEO at North West Training and Development Team (NWTDT) also a parent to many including an amazing young woman with Downs Syndrome.Robert Punton - poet and disability rights campaigner, who Sarah Met through The Alliance for Inclusive EducationJoe Whittaker - Joe died a couple of years ago but was a passionate campaigner and all round incredible human.

    Help or Hindrance? | Raincheck
    Apr 16 2025

    Welcome to a TSWU Raincheck. While you wait for new content, here is a short extract from earlier episodes to tide you over.

    This week the hot topic of Help. When someone says, How can I help? It can feel like another thing we need to do, give someone a job. But how can we as parent carers feel more at home taking help, and enable the people who want to help us give it.

    Extracts are from:

    Season 1 Episode 11; and

    Season 2 Episode 15;

    We’d love to hear from you – we love sharing stories, we love hearing how things are going, the good, the bad, the snotty-crying ugly.
