✈️ As many of us have seen the airport queues and delays shared on the news with the changes with eye scans and finger prints at border control, we were relieved when we were ushered into the family queue…and realised it was even longer.

But that wasn’t the main challenge at Milan airport.

My son (6), is very protective of his glasses. He doesn’t like people seeing him without them unless he feels comfortable and prepared. If he’s unexpectedly asked to remove them, he covers his eyes and becomes extremely distressed and shuts down.

We were naive and unprepared when they asked him to remove his glasses for the eye scan. He shuck his head and immediately covered his eyes and bolted to get to the other side (successfully) of passport control. Fortunately, I had already gone through and was there.

And suddenly, we felt the stares and frustration from the queue behind us. The pressure that there was no alternative.

He tried to run and I had to restrain him with a bear hug so he couldn’t ’escape’ and we all get in trouble with passport control (it all feels ridiculous now but at the time we didn’t have any one there who we could ask for help and the border control office said he had to take them off). Tom held him while I tried to remove his glasses (unsuccessfully) and tried to move his hands from his eyes and hold him still on the footprints. It was so distressing for all of us and he screamed and fought against us.

I felt cruel and it went against everything I believe about respecting children’s boundaries and responding compassionately. I’m still traumatised by it now and angry that we had no our choice at the time.

Eventually, the immigration officer simply said, “It’s okay” and allowed him to complete the process wearing his glasses. Why he couldn’t have allowed this in the first place is infuriating.

But - Walking away, I didn’t feel frustrated with my son. I felt ashamed and really angry that we had no other choice and that there was no prior warning or way to share with children what to expect as we naively believed this only applied to adults and that it was just finger prints for children.

And then I thought about the children and young people we support at Sowing Seeds Alternative Learning. What if he had complex needs? What if he couldn’t stand on the footprints at all? What if the officer hadn’t been so understanding - eventually?

If we’d known exactly what to expect, we could have practised. We could have used pictures, explained the process and prepared him.

We talk about reasonable adjustments in education, workplaces and public services, but we need to think about them throughout travel too: A short video. A visual guide. Photos. A child-friendly explanation during booking and on the aeroplane.

Small adjustments can prevent enormous distress and is why travel training helps at any age.

The Sunflower lanyard and other disability identifiers are valuable, but not every disability is visible—and not everyone wants to disclose one or is aware they have one.

The only positive is that I can use this experience to help prepare our families and learners so they know what to expect.

But in the wider world, travel needs to also inclusive, to prepare families, and to recognise that accessibility isn’t always about changing what happens. Travel shouldn’t be traumatic. Sometimes, it’s simply about helping someone know what is going to happen next.

Before we travelled back, we took time to explain and made it into a game and he said he was ready (even excited) and willing to take his glasses off when he was asked to do it. 💚

At Sowing Seeds, we want to support children academically but also advocate and strive to help children and young people personally so that they are enriched, feel prepared and learn about themselves and thrive in the wider world - whatever their ability and needs are.

🌙 To all our GCSE students (and our parents) on the night before Results Day…

We know tonight might feel like a long one. And tomorrow morning will feel very daunting as it approaches.

There may be nerves, excitement, worry, pride and lots of “what ifs?” For parents and carers, it can be just as emotional. You’ve watched your child work hard, overcome challenges, doubt themselves, keep going and, for many of our young people, face barriers that others may never fully understand.

So tonight, we want you to remember something really important:

Tomorrow’s results are just one moment in time. They do not define your child, their ability, their potential or their future. We also know that some children won’t have this experience tomorrow and that it will happen if or when they are ready (and we are here to help if needed)💚

A grade cannot measure resilience.
It cannot measure kindness.
It cannot show how much courage it took to walk into an exam room or even being able to open that envelope to read those results.
It cannot capture the progress made simply by re-engaging with education, believing in yourself again or refusing to give up.

Whatever is written on that piece of paper tomorrow, there will always be a next step and another pathway. Open it on your own, when you get home, with you family or with your friends. It’s your moment to choose and every person shows their nerves in their own way

To our students: we are already incredibly proud of how far you have come. Tomorrow is about recognising what you have achieved, not measuring your worth by a number.

And to our parents and carers: whatever tomorrow brings, celebrate how far they have come and know we are here if you need to chat . ❤️

From all of us at Sowing Seeds, we wish every young person receiving their GCSE results and resit results tomorrow the very best of luck. 🍀🌱

You are so much more than your results. This is one moment in your story, not the whole story.
