Unauthorised Absence is out THIS TUESDAY. Every single teacher, SLT, Governor, LA education staffer NEEDS to watch it. Call to every education professional- will YOU? If not, why not? instagram.com/p/DfPyCNYhrZv/…

As far as I’m aware, under current changes we’ve experienced recently… there is NOTHING but a brick wall to services and actions required to update EHCP. It’s up to families to pay for evidence

Imagine that.... shaking off harmful, dehumanising, Victorian, Gradgrind attitudes in education (sadly so beloved of a certain sect) leads to happier, healthier kids who do better. Great work by Hugh Viney & the MVA team: instagram.com/p/DfXuXQCDepY/…

Expressed an interest in a little rescue dog. My need for a dog has outweighed my desire for a poodle I think. Fingers crossed I hear back. If not it wasn’t meant to be and that’s ok as well.

Looking forward to getting stuck into this! Even doing my usual chapter scan while making lunch, I can see this is going to be invaluable for SEND families fighting the system - whether that's exclusions, punishments, EHCP delays, poor service from LAs just for starters 💪💪💪

It’s like the screen time guidance for EYFS - when many phonics and maths schemes that the DFE have actively promoted are screen based and one of the three statutory assessments in EYFS is screen based. Make it make sense !!!

God help us all when EHCPs and legal rights are removed. Young person physically shaking and retching after complete safeguarding failure. Left completely unprotected without EHCP support.

CAMHS needs to be urgently reformed. Had a fight for years with not getting right support for my daughter’s mental health and autism. Postcode lottery for PDA and psychiatrist not willing to prescribe correct medication, to a point she’ll end up in care whilst destroying family

Love this. Succinctly describes my approach to SEND advocacy and why I care so much about helping families fight for their SEND kids' legal rights, in the face of so much institutional bullying & mistreatment.
