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 took an AV1 on a school trip, even placing it inside a fire truck so a student could feel included, to a child reconnecting with their classroom during long-term hospital treatment 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 Counci

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.
