Returning to Eduction after Serious Illness - Angela Cummins
Episode 2
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer.In this week’s episode we talk to special education teacher Angela Cummins.While Angela is well known for her work in the area of Special Education through parent and teacher courses, events and workshops, she also has been a mother in the fight against childhood cancer. As a primary school teacher currently studying for her Phd Angela is passionate about supporting children who are neurodiverse and those with serious illness. Angela's daughter Lucy was diagnosed with leukaemia when she was in primary school over 10 years ago.She understands both sides, mother and teacher and the caution around reintegrating a child back in to the school environment after a serious illness. It’s this personal and professional understanding that has motivated her to develop education for schools on how to best support the family - as there is very little support for teachers in this area. Here we talk about how the transition back to school is not easy on the parent, the child or the teacher but when done with care and appropriate expectations it can lead to a positive reintegration and make this stage of life so much better for any child who finds returning to school challenging.
