All parents are feeling the strain of educating their children at home. But for blind parents of sighted children, the dizzying array of apps and worksheets with varying degrees of accessibility can be a struggle. Father-of-two Nick Adamson is navigating the landscape well, and he's joined by Hetal Bapodra, who, with no sighted adult in the house, is finding things difficult. Sean Randall of Blind Parents UK is on hand to give his view of what it's reasonable to expect in the way of help. We had a big response to our item on the consequences of social distancing for blind and VI people, so we hear listeners' takes on our new world of less direct contact. And four years ago the family of Sirine Jahangir was struggling to get her into a mainstream secondary school, so we chatted to her father. Now dad and daughter return under happier circumstances. She's just won rave reviews after a stellar solo performance on Britain's Got Talent. We talk about nerves, being on stage and hopes for the future. Presenter Peter White. Produced by Kev Core
