The Journey of Children
The Journey of Children is a podcast exploring the real stories, challenges and triumphs of children as they navigate education, wellbeing, and the systems meant to support them.
Hosted by educator and psychologist Tara Dakin, each episode brings insight from professionals, parents, and young people themselves - shining a light on what truly helps children thrive, and where we need to do better.
Honest, compassionate, and rooted in lived experience, this podcast invites listeners to walk alongside children on their unique journeys, and to reflect on how we can all help shape a more inclusive and supportive world for them.

Was Not Heard
When you find new ways to hear, you hear new things... Young People have the right to be listened to, and taken seriously. The Multi-Agency Learning and Development Group are pleased to announce the release of a short film advocating the right of children to be heard and the duty of those working with them to act.
The film was originally conceived by five groups of young people from the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland areas. Their ideas were then taken and a script was written again – by a young person. This was then made into a film with the support of Leicester City Participation Service and Badshoes Film and with performances by young actors. The film was funded by NHS England and the Safeguarding Children’s Partnership (Board)s of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
With involvement from Tara Dakin.
