The Skies We’re Under

A Catch-up with Mrs C and the Trauma Series | S4 | E23

She's back! Mrs Sarah Clayton returns to the podcast and immediately goes straight to the heart. While Lucy's absence is explained with a toilet themed voice note - or as we like to call it - Lucy on the Loo.
Sarah goes through the whole trauma series as a listener, and shares an important personal update in her life, with the reason why we’ve not heard from her in a while. We’ve missed her…
There is also a chat about the expertise from Jo Griffin, Julie Calveley, Ana Aiello, Siobhan O'Dwyer, Elly Chapple and George Julian (with five PhDs between them). We’ve been so grateful they have shared their expertise, to document all the little and big T’s that our off-piste lives bring.
This episode is brought to you in partnership with Kidz to Adultz.
We are looking forward to being at Kidz to Adultz Middle exhibition again this year. We’d love for you to come and join us, not only for our live podcast recording with Lee Ridley (Lost Voice Guy) but to chat with you on our stand.

Entering the Gladiator Ring with Elly Chapple and George Julian | S4 | E22

The narrative is that as parent carers we often have to fight.
Enter the Gladiator ring: for Elly Chapple this began in 2020 with her daughter fighting for her life in ITU and within weeks she was fighting for her family to stay together.
In this special episode of The Skies We’re Under Podcast, Elly Chapple and George Julian share the unfolding events and human rights case brought on behalf of Ella when her mother Ellie was removed from her home after child protection proceedings began. 
This conversation brings together the many facets of trauma families face. It is a real-life example of parent carer trauma, trauma in people with profound disabilities, systems generated trauma and being brought to the brink.
This powerful and vulnerable episode comes with special thanks to Elly and her family for sharing their personal story. Our hope is that by shining a light, lessons can be learned for systems and practitioners so that ultimately children and families are better protected.
You can find out more about Elly here.
You can see her TEDx Talk here.
You can find more about George here.
George can also be found on Bluesky here.
You can see George’s writing on Elly’s experience here.
