Has been totally overwhelmed in a mainstream setting, partly because school failed to provide basic sensory support & regulation. The idea of school being given free choice over what to implement, awful idea. Many don't follow & implement EHCPs anyway & there is zero redress for parents. Agree SEND

Looking into some extra tutoring for a young person - has anyone got experience of either of these companies?

Targeted Provision

#EduSky @phoenixedsarah.bsky.social I'd appreciate a RP if possible - think they do a lot in #AP 🙏

That's proper chilly.

What a bloody nightmare. I hope it all goes ok or you can rearrange for times that work for you all. Son has 4 consultants at 3 different hospitals but luckily we have never had clashes.

Morning #TeamSEND a question on transition year prim to sec. If the the LA chooses to consult MS instead of special after panel, & draft EHCP doesn't reflect the current need what is the best approach? Wait until Feb when EHCP finalised & school is named then appeal?

motability is the next life isn’t fair look at all those disabled people getting stuff rhetoric. So even putting aside no one gets the car for free, and btw do you want me to kick your knees in so your eligible because at the moment with all the hate I would be up for that 🤣 🧵

#TeamSEND Any ideas how to encourage a highly intelligent autistic 10 yr old child that continually picking scabs is not good for you? Daughter is getting more & more sores all over her arms & legs as will pick the smallest blemish. They are all slowly getting bigger as well.

It's bloody awful. In the next breath after taking the transport away they'll moan about people not working. Taking away their transport to college certainly won't be helping will it.

NEW POST: Many LAs are drastically cutting Post-16 transport, leaving disabled young people unable to get to college safely. A new report shows 65% of learners missed the academic year through transport issues. Ruth Perry of Natspec explains more… www.specialneedsjung...

Hello :-) @beckyrwhin.bsky.social

It was great to talk to Peter White about Snowball on BBC Radio 4 today. Have a listen on the link below.

Reports this morning of a wet outfield and a small fire at deep mid-wicket. No problem. Our groundstaff should have the facility ready for play in about half an hour.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in.

The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers.

This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

This is who Elon Musk is endorsing. “When you see these communities & you see these houses, you think this is a British community, or you might have British Muslims – they are enemy combatants in these houses…who want to kill you, maim you and destroy you.” amp.theguardian.com/world/2018/o...

Children’s development ‘put back by years’ due to failure of special educational needs system Local government ombudsman report into SEND in England offers damning assessment

The LGSCO upheld 92% of SEND complaints this year, with the ombudsman calling on the government to extend its powers. A damning report says failures cause thousands of children to have their development delayed by months or years.

With thanks to those of you reading, as the "woman who live tweets inquest" tagline via the BBC, the demise of that place has been difficult.

I will continue to report on my blog, and will share findings here also.

My nephew (aged 16) studying medical science, is investigating people’s views on the flu vaccine. If you get a spare 2 mins we’d be grateful if you could complete his really simple tick box survey- needs 70 responses. #flu #vaccine #NHS Thank you

NEW POST: This week the Commons Public Accounts Committee quizzed top Education and Health civil servants about SEND. We thought it was a bit too gentle, so we gave SNJ’s @rachel.stopsafety-valve.uk the task of scrutinising them instead. It's long, but oh, so worth the read www.specialneedsjung...

Would be nice if this pristine new space avoided calling people “morons”, “idiots”, “imbeciles” and the rest. Bad politics. Grim history.

Did they say these measures will almost certainly be unlawful? I cannot for the life of me understand how they think they'll get away with treating very vulnerable children in this way. History I'm sure will be very scathing of the people making these decisions.

We are frugal with the heating. We do get masses of condensation though and the mould that comes with it. Not keen on using the trickle vents (wind, noise, cold air etc) but have opened them all today. Gotta do something. I know the ideal is to not let room temps get down to 14 but it's expensive.

Crying 😂

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️
