@Natspec @ClareH_Natspec Congratulations Clare, amazing to see you get the recognition you deserve for your work with Natspec around post 16 SEND learners

We are delighted that our CEO, @ClareH_Natspec, has been awarded an OBE. She would like to share the honour with the thousands of dedicated staff in specialist colleges - and across the wider FE sector - who work with students with #SEND. feweek.co.uk/kings-birthday…

Are you passionate about helping others? 💙 Team Seashell need you! 😄 We are looking for dedicated individuals to fulfil a number of rewarding roles. Take a look at our vacancies below to find out more about what we do and how you can join us! seashelltrust.org.uk/worth-with-us

October is ADHD Awareness Month. To think of ADHD only as poor concentration, impulsiveness or hyperactivity is to trivialise what can be a very debilitating difference in Neuro cognitive capacity. Identified early, treated & educated how to manage it can transform & ‘enable’ you

Lots on education in today’s budget. Not sure the solution for #SEND lies in creating more special school places, though. Let’s support mainstream schools to be more inclusive, invest in specialist expertise & ensure young people in FE get their fair share of high needs funding.

Happy Sunday! Today's quote of the day CCL's Motivational March Calendar is 'Call or FaceTime your friends and family for a chat' by Torrin Drive. #MotivationalMarch

At our upcoming Therapy Conference, we’re joined by Kate Duggan from @SeashellTrust to discuss her research project on the barriers faced by therapist in evidencing the impact of their input. Register now: natspec.org.uk/events/natspec…

We're delighted to bring to you this week's #clapforcarers video - with a twist. Sending a huge thank you to all of our key workers for your dedication and care towards our children and young people 👏 💙

Outrageous, incredibly concerning and in my view unlawful on multiple grounds

The ‘EHCP model’ is law. If the ‘health model’ isn’t compatible with the law, then the ‘health model’ needs to change. Parliament has decided that children and young people with EHCPs have a right to certain additional health provision #SEND

A victory for disabled people as court judgement finds govt discriminated against thousands of disabled people who were left worse off when they transitioned to Universal Credit theguardian.com/society/2020/j…

As it’s a new year, why not have a fresh start at Seashell? We have vacancies in Healthcare, as Teaching Assistant and as Residential Support Workers for both our children’s and young adult’s homes. For full details, head to our career’s website at seashelltrustcareers.org.uk/vacancies.

@seashelltrust @officialbarnsey Fantastic

Did an interview with Boris Johnson in Cheadle this morning. The @seashelltrust previously signed a letter saying children's services are at 'breaking point' - so I asked about that. Not sure we really got anywhere to be honest, but here it is @GranadaReports:

The long awaited report. After 18 months and hundreds of pieces of evidence, this is a damning and comprehensive picture of how ambitious intentions failed to be realised.. for post-16, the headlines are....1/12

Natspec's chief executive, @ClareH_Natspec as well as our Chair, @BernieW01 have responded to today's publication of the @CommonsEd report into special educational needs and disabilities. natspec.org.uk/natspec-respon…

Absolutely @BernieW01 so true #SeashellTrust #Stockport #SEND #YoungPeople

Royal College Manchester is proud to be one of these colleges. #seashelltrust #LoveOurColleges

Independent specialist colleges are an important part of ensuring that young people can access education and training that works for them. #LoveOurColleges
