Nicola chats to Linda Owen, the resident "agony aunt" from the Sibs charity.

Sibs supports siblings who have a brother or sister with a disability, SEND or long-term health condition.

They recently released a report - "Comin Second" - about life in lockdown for siblings of disabled children.

In this podcast, Linda discusses the report, explaining the particular challenges siblings have experienced during lockdown. But she also makes it clear that life with a disabled brother or sister can be as wonderful as it's challenging. We must give siblings all the support they need to keep doing the amazing work they do.
