RSHE guidance: Why properly naming body parts is a big deal Updated guidance saying that proper terms like penis, vulva and vagina should be taught to primary pupils has been welcomed by sex education experts and safeguarding leads

β€œThe fact they’ve said that, at primary level, terms like penis and vulva must be used is huge and really, really important.”

A small addition to the RHSE guidance is likely to have a big impact on schools, finds @danworth.bsky.social

β€˜High aspirations’: the school that embodies Labour’s hopes for special needs A mainstream London school with a high number of children with EHCPs has effectively set up a mini special school within its walls

Mainstream SEND success is more than possible!

EHCP tribunals: why schools' struggles must guide SEND reform If the government's plans for tackling the SEND crisis are to be successful, it has to look at the difficulties that the tribunal process is creating for schools, finds Ellen Peirson-Hagger

The traumatic experience of tribunals for EHCPs is often told from the parents' perspective - for good reasons - but looking at it from the school perspective tells us a huge amount about the disaster of the current system.

Excellent piece from @ellencph.bsky.social
