Working on this paper took time and a few major head scratching moments trying to get it all to come together with so many disciplines involved but we did it and I’m really proud of this and LOVED this gang of women 💪

Oh amazing. I really want to skill up on GIS if you know any good courses? I’ve had someone helping me a little but I don’t want to keep asking them and I’d rather get some training!

Tamara is great. We are thinking of doing some sort of mapping workshop/seminar type thing.

Ha! Tbf we are near the main village so it’s busy but far enough away from Heaton park to avoid the carnage!

NEW POST: Under questioning from MPs at this week's Education Select Committee's SEND Inquiry hearing, Schools Minister, Catherine McKinnell repeatedly refused to guarantee SEND legal rights. @catrionamoore.bsky.social bravely watched it all for SNJ. Your thoughts? www.specialneedsjungle.com/s...

If you know of parades or processions of any type in GM or Lancashire please see below. There is a link in here to add events to the map. We are missing so much (past and present) practice.

Processional Cultures
Greater Manchester and Lancashire
We made a map (well it’s ongoing… please add!) of parades and processions in GM and Lancashire with zero GIS skills but I’m open to learning (and trial and error) and I’m pretty pleased storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8d6d...

Another parade cancelled. This is something I’m really concerned about and building into my research. I’ve not focused on Pride really as mainly looked at traditional heritage events but this news is so worrying for the community and for processional practices.

after a year the LA finally agreed his EHCP..four days before our tribunal hearing. It is a massive waste of time and resource and I’m too angry to celebrate yet. A place at a SEN school was agreed in Oct (to start in Sept) but we wanted SLT intervention added. It took til now to get that.

I’m still hoping got more responses! I know all the local Pride parades are missing but also there must be lots of village and small town parades out there (historical or contemporary). Please share! (I promise to get more active on here 🙈).

The special needs trap
What one parent’s experience reveals about a system on the brink of collapse.
An excellent piece from @johnharris1969.bsky.social in The @newstatesman.com on his family's SEND struggles. High praise for SNJ's "battle-hardened SEND veterans" ”Don’t take away children’s rights, because if you do, you'll have a hell of a fight on your hands.” www.newstatesman.com/politic...

Landed in my postbox yesterday and really excited to read. Your son and ours sound so similar (he is just 4) and music is so central to him. We are lucky to access a group session with Nordoff and Robbins (not always the most relaxing experience it has to be said) and for that we are grateful!

It’s 20 years today since we released the Transition EP. Recorded in a studio in Liverpool, above a garage, where Space would periodically come in to grab equipment from their rehearsal room next to the live room, and released by the legendary Deltasonic Records.

I find this so fascinating having done drama at Manchester uni myself (state educated, father in professional job but neither parents went to HE). I wonder how different the picture was back in 2001 when I started but I am conscious it was very white!

On the left is a mural of a rural scene collage with flowers, cars, bins, animals. In the middle is a board with photos of families walking. A red post box is on the right with post it notes stuck to it.
A tv screen split into 4 with stills of go-pro footage of walks. The images are of streams and footpaths from the height of a small child.
Check out our new project on display at Holmfirth Library. Co-created with walking families from 6months old upwards! The families created a mural picturing their walks and we captured child/buggy eye view footage!for more see … Www.familyroutesproject.wordpress.com
