Yr 10 work experience finally highlights to our young people that it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

I’m delighted to say that we have installed air purifiers in every clinic room at my surgery #CleanAirInHealthcare #CleanAir #NHS

You can only perform inclusion, when inclusion is not the performance.

While Y6s across England sit SATs today, mine are boarding a boat for a week of challenge, growth & adventure. No test papers. No scores. Just real learning. We don’t do SATs or centralised standardised testing on the Isle of Man - and that’s a strength we must never lose 🇮🇲

“No amount of handwashing or deep cleaning will prevent staff and pupils from inhaling airborne viral particles.”

#EHCP shake-up considered as part of SEND reforms - adviser - Please read this story carefully and tell us your views - EHCPs only for special schools? - Only for education, no health/social care? schoolsweek.co.uk/ehcp-shake-up-…

“Lenehan added that the “challenge is how bold and brave you want to be” What a profile in courage that is. Very, very obvious who will need to generate new reserves of bravery in this scenario, and it’s not vol-au-vent fuelled workshop and webinar wranglers

Professionals consistently don’t follow the law regarding EHCP’s. Shall we improve accountability? No, let’s get rid of EHCP’s.

NEW POST: What kind of government is “bold” enough to scrap statutory #EHCPs from vulnerable children? We look at some controversial remarks and what they may mean for families of disabled children specialneedsjungle.com/what-governmen…

As said by others, far more eloquently, there’s nothing wrong with #send law. Claims to the contrary are feeble. What’s wrong is; 1. Resourcing for (all) schools 2. Blaming disabled people 3. Blaming those whose advocate for them Saddened & v. angry. x.com/SEN_advice/sta…

Helen W Ed Duff And on the same lines, whatever new law & regs emerge from the binfire will only be followed as far as it suits them

If this goes ahead (tightening eligibility criteria for statutory SEND support) then restriction of appeal rights to the SEND First Tier Tribunal will almost certainly be coming too

The narrative of the SEND system failing / being broken has been effective. The shift to blaming the system rather than holding to account those who have failed / refused to enact it lawfully or ethically has allowed children with SEND to be perceived as the problem.

This is absolutely true: a convenient narrative for everyone at the heart of the current proces

This sums things up perfectly.

We need to be teaching journalistic literacy in schools. The ability to critically evaluate various news sources and recognise when information isn’t credible is a necessary skill . Media messages shape culture and society.

The fundamental problem with suggestion to dilute EHC Plans is that they *reflect* #SEND needs, they don’t create needs. Govt can reduce statutory entitlements, but can’t legislate away need - so any new framework will break just as the current one has unless properly resourced

Evidence suggests that extensive investment into academisation has not consistently led to better outcomes for young people. So it’s worth questioning the continued allocation of substantial funds to academy CEO’s when ‘no funds’ are a persistent problem in education.

Talk for Teaching.😀 School engagement with parents. The extent to which the school meets parent expectations.

Inclusion is not about making YOUR life easier. It is not about making extra resources for the purpose of showing off to teacher colleagues. It is not about YOU defining what another’s inclusion looks like. It is not about physical space.
