What Andrew Smith/Old is doing, what Tom Bennett & ResearchED are amplifying, is to distract blame away from this system & onto families. When Bennett says "students are not excluded because they have SEND", he's kicking away at the already-paltry support services around them. ⬇️

When our young people are highly stressed ,fight/flight/freeze response,they will have high levels of cortisol(stress hormone).This makes it harder for them to think,make decisions, reflect, problem solve & access learning.🧠🌱

#ADHD IS NOT OVER-DIAGNOSED. Analysis of 9 million patient GP records showed ADHD diagnosis for just 0.32% of patient records. NHS prescription data backs that up. ADHD is under diagnosed not overdiagnosised. Detailed information here: adhduk.co.uk/adhd-diagnosis…

It really irks me that The City of Edinburgh Council hasn't acknowledged #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek in schools. Especially with 49% of all pupils being ASN. Our children need to feel valued & accepted by their peers & teachers. Why is this not mandatory? Dr. Lynne Binnie AmandaHatton

The work of the parents of REPAIR advocating for Edinburgh kids with additional support and learning needs is astounding. What an impact they have had since formation on our councils policies and procedures. A true asset. 👏

You can’t build a successful education system around shame, embarrassment, detention & exclusion. You can’t create inclusion for all via a curriculum that only works for some. So as the saying goes “If the child doesn’t learn the way you teach, start teaching the way they learn.”
