K, a teacher and SENCo, saw how behaviour systems are failing children with speech and language challenges. It’s happening across the UK. The Government MUST act with better training, policies & interventions. Demand change: bit.ly/4izwPzg #SupportNotSanctions

We're gobsmacked that Department for Education can spend over £600,000 on experts to deliver "bespoke" support and advice for breakfast clubs, yet do nothing to save a really impactful early years training scheme... Bring back the EYPDP! >> speechandlanguage.org.uk/about-us/news-…

Children with speech and language challenges are being unfairly disciplined in schools. Outdated punishment policies mean they’re sanctioned, not supported. 📣This is not just unjust—it’s a national scandal. And it's happening in our schools right now. ​ #SupportNotSanctions
