E1: Parents and Teachers - why your influence is essential in university decisions

From Family Fortunes fun, frank discussions on school, tear-jerking accounts of support to free resources... In this, our first episode, we welcome friend, highly respected widening access professional and proud Stokie, Ant Sutcliffe (Head of Uni Connect Partnership, Higher Horizons) to discuss his lived experience of accessing university as the first person in his family to do so. Together with UniTasterDays Founder, Jon Cheek, medical undergraduate, Leah Brooks and media graduate, Nuku Somevi we discuss, reflect upon and recognise the most important people who helped us all access university with inspiring stories, hints and tips on supporting young people making key decisions on their futures- In plain English, with NO JARGON!
