We are too!
Really looking forward to speaking about our #SENCOSurvey tomorrow at #oeSEND - I love sharing about our work to make the system fairer for all pupils, parents and professionals. Hope you can join me? 🤓
#Worcestershire we’re looking to hire a #wheelchair #ramp for an #event and it’s very expensive - especially adding in delivery charges!! Does anyone know a good place to get one?

I'm looking forward to my first #WomenEd unconference tomorrow - it is definitely going to be worth the 5.30am start, I can tell - so excited! I think a hotel the night before might be a good idea next time though!

So, quick GDPR question... SEN files. Should they move to the new school automatically upon a change of placement? Does there need to be explicit parental permission or is it assumed? Or, should the school keep the file until requested.

Great article in the @guardian on inclusive tech. My fave line is @hminto (disability inclusion advocate @Microsoft) statement “if you don’t deliberately include, then you unintentionally exclude” - yes!

Dear fellow teachers, pause, take 60secs in your classroom and appreciate the sensory environment.What can you hear, smell,see etc. Now imagine your autistic pupil trying to filter all this out to egage in the lesson. Can you offer (allow) them ear defenders? Do you need those /1
