Sakshi, who mentors at our partner school Trafford Alternative Education Provision in Greater Manchester, speaks about her experiences mentoring at Pupil Referral Unit, highlighting how they differ from mainstream schools. The conversation between the two takes them on a journey through relating educational topics, covering everything from neurodiversity in education, teaching methods, and how online toxic masculinity is affecting young people in schools.
