Following a brief chat with Kat McGreal at the Shaftesbury Teachmeet, we knew we need to speak to her for longer about her amazing work. It has taken a while but we did it! 
We were also joined by Hayley Jane Liddle, who visited Kat and witnessed her great work, and she talks to us about how she has adapted the model at her School.
