Introducing B Squared Unlocked
Our new podcast for schools using B Squared – hosted by Dale Pickles & Jon Twycross
We’re excited to launch B Squared Unlocked, our brand new podcast for schools using Connecting Steps and Evisense. Hosted by our Managing Director, Dale Pickles, and Technology Director, Jon Twycross, each episode brings you practical, straight-talking guidance on assessment, progress, and getting the most out of your B Squared software.
It’s the kind of insight you can catch up on any time – in the car, walking the dog, or between lessons.
“More people access things through audio or a podcast than they probably would by reading, because it’s easier to digest. You can discuss deeper concepts too, rather than writing them down and having to read and categorise them in your head.”
— Dale Pickles
Why launch a new podcast?
You might already know about our award winning podcast, the SENDcast – but B Squared Unlocked is a different thing entirely. The SENDcast is the #1 podcast for special educational needs for anyone working with or supporting children and young people with SEND. It covers the whole world of SEND with a different expert guest each week.
B Squared Unlocked is more focused: it’s made specifically for schools using our software. Hosted by Dale and Jon, it’s a shorter, practical series built around the questions our support team hear all the time – baselining, setting up classes and groups, managing students and users, new features, and getting the best from Connecting Steps and Evisense. Think of it as time with our team, to help you get the most out of everything B Squared has to offer.

Starting the year right with Connecting Steps
In our very first episode, Dale and Jon talk through everything schools need to get Connecting Steps ready for the new school year – baselining, setting up classes and groups, managing students and users, and what to do if you’ve forgotten your password after the summer.

The SENDcast supports SEND education for all. It’s made up of two parts: a free weekly podcast, with over 500,000 downloads and 300+ episodes covering the latest topics in SEND, and SENDcast Sessions – a library of 150+ expert-led, one-hour CPD training sessions that schools can access from just £10 per session. Together they’re a one-stop-shop for SEND content for teachers, parents and anyone supporting children and young people with SEND. We have a great line up of training sessions and podcast guests for the Autumn Term ahead.
