On the 13th of September 2021, ‘Our Voice’ project members Tasnim Hassan, Melody Powell, Matthew Smith and Samuel Bartley had the fantastic opportunity to interview Tanni GreyThompson. Baroness GreyThompson is a member of the House of Lords and Paralympian with Spina Bifida.
Tanni was born in Wales, July 1969, and by the age of 6 her spine collapsed, causing her to be paralysed. Her parents had a long battle with their local authority for Tanni to be included in a mainstream school. We were keen to learn more about her experience battling the education system and to find out why she thinks inclusive education is necessary.
