This video brings together the voices of educators and local authority staff from across the UK, reflecting on their most powerful moments using AV1 — and what might have happened if they hadn’t had access to one.

From a teacher who brought an AV1 on a school trip and into a fire truck to ensure a student felt included, to a child reconnecting with their classroom while receiving long-term treatment in hospital and later reintegrating successfully, these stories illustrate the profound impact AV1 can have on learning, reintegration, and emotional wellbeing.

Featuring insights from:

  • ‍Sarah Day, Assistant Head Teacher, Manchester Hospital School‍
  • Victoria Auty, Home Education Team, Wirral Council‍
  • Shelley Meredith, Pupil Engagement Casework Coordinator, Vale of Glamorgan Council
  • Katy Daly, Access to Education Manager, Bracknell Forest Council

In their own words, they share how AV1 is more than a learning tool, it’s a lifeline. Whether preventing isolation, supporting families, or helping children transition back into the classroom, the reach and emotional impact of AV1 extends far beyond school walls.
