@SEND_Action No SEND familiy would need recourse to the arms of the law if the system was fair and trust had not been so eroded . All of education needs to start again with a customised approach to holistic child development and learn to share resources equitably

SEND Action@SEND_Action·11 May

Completely agree. This article is dangerously misinformed and shows no understanding of how the #SEND system works.

A shockingly misleading & dangerous piece from @matthewhood on @SchoolsWeek, lobbying for an end to EHCPs. With Matt Hood's Oak Academy enjoying influence over @educationgovuk thinking, this should worry all parents & teachers. And worst of all, the piece is just plain wrong. 🧵

Dear Nigel. Take your uninformed, unwanted opinions about #autism and take a long walk off the end of Clacton Pier, you complete scobberlotching fopdoodle. Campaigners criticise Farage’s claims that UK is ‘massively overdiagnosing’ mental illness theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

This judgement does not show anyone deliberately sabotaged children's schooling to appear better in league tables. It doesn't mean the incentive isn't there? It doesn't mean children who don't fit the median scheme aren't marginalised and excluded? schoolsweek.co.uk/education-grea…

Oh good grief. I only took a glance at this yesterday. On closer inspection, it's really bad. theguardian.com/education/2024…

Don't repair the system; change it! Good read. Although this applies to SEND and Alternative Provision, a different system (perhaps including the school-community partnerships CQ has put forward) could benefit most children. schoolsweek.co.uk/the-send-syste…

We run summer sessions for disabled children and their friends. Some families come even though their kids aren't disabled. We welcome them in when we can. The kids always have a good time; but some adults feel awkward - #embarrassed by #difference? What would you say?

We're at BounceMania today with @BirminghamPCF, lots of children from @NewbiginC and about 30 SEND kids and their families who booked online in advance @bringitonbrum! #FitForAll in #Birmingham

Love is a practice, not a choice or a feeling (something parents and carers know well). Sometimes it leaves us feeling worn out. We might need a community - a wider family - to care and support us too. What keeps you going as a practitioner of love? theconversation.com/what-is-love-a…

@DrHelenDodd Absolutely - can we invite you to talk in Birmingham this October - colleagues here looking at how adventurous play reduces anxiety particularly in CYP with SEND

Professor Helen Dodd@DrHelenDodd·15 Tem

Children self-report that they are happiest when playing outdoors, yes - even happier than when they play computer games. This is a study conducted in Hong Kong, published in 2017 but I only just discovered it! See sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@jessphillips Wear it to our annual Children’s Quarter October conference in Brum Jess - we need your voice there to support childcare for women ( often single ) who have children with additional needs that don’t fit the box - they are forced into benefit dependency

Started the morning writing a victim support plan, am now doing the long overdue job of consolidating my clothes and found this t-shirt from when I went to a fancy dress party as Truss beating lettuce. Not sure I'll wear it again but feel I should keep for historic posterity

@jessphillips Well said Jess - here’s to a post binary world united by all our common human needs not divided by competing rights agendas - where we can all lose sight of the biggest inequality of all which is distribution of wealth

Councils sometimes expect deference from third sector coalitions like ours. But we are honest with them - even when they fail. We got used to being ignored, patronised, undermined, sidelined. We don't care. We're still here to help #cooperation #coproduction #mutualrespect
