There’s a persistent belief that being highly able somehow “cancels out” SEND,as if intelligence protects a child from autism,ADHD,dyslexia,sensory difficulties,anxiety,exec functioning problems or emotional vulnerability. In reality,high cognitive ability can mask needs for yrs.

Your chances of being able bodied your entire life are slim to none. It is always in your best interest to advocate for a more accessible world.

every school should have a "fix-it lab" where students learn to repair their clothes, bikes and electronics. we should grow up knowing that not everything is disposable, that care and repair are part of living well on this planet.

BIG NEWS! An important legal challenge has just been issued against the Government’s #SENDreform consultation. It argues it's unlawful & unfair, failing to provide sufficient information or ask key questions. We fully support Jessica & Melissa’s claim rookirwinsweeney.co.uk/legal-challeng…

3/ Public reporting shows that Yondr, a company selling locked phone pouches to schools, has lobbied for phone-free school policies while also receiving growing public-sector school contracts. That does not automatically prove unlawful conduct or a conflict of interest in every case. But it raises legitimate questions about procurement, lobbying, evidence standards, and who benefits when these policies are pushed.

@ICARSBanRandS 1000% this

2/ Google who is connected to cell phone pouch companies in your own country, state, or school system. Look at advisers, lobbyists, policymakers, consultants, school networks, public contracts, and procurement decisions. Then decide for yourself whether there are conflicts of interest in your country

🧵1/ In light of the new research on school cell phone ban effectiveness, it is time to ask how these policies came to be, who pushed them, how much money has been spent lobbying for them globally, and who profits when schools are told the answer is a locked pouch. Because this is no longer just a debate about phones. apnews.com/article/school…

Disciplinary incidents increased after school cell phone bans were introduced. That finding comes from researchers at Stanford, Duke, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Michigan. We all know these Universities are internationally recognized research universities with serious global standing. The study found no evidence that school cell phone bans had any significant effect on test scores, attendance, classroom attention, or perceived online bullying. It did find that bans reduced phone use in class. But that is not the same as improving education, safeguarding, behavior, or wellbeing. This matters because phone bans have been sold to the public as common sense, discipline, and evidence-based reform.

“At a time when SEND reforms risk driving greater segregation and exclusion, we need a united voice that will challenge discriminatory policies and demand laws that are rooted in human rights, equality and inclusion” Edmore Masendeke disabilitynewsservice.com/launch-of-nort… via @johnpringdns

ICARS’ first United Nations evidence submission is now open. We are collecting photographic evidence of injuries and related harm associated with restraint, seclusion, isolation, removal rooms, physical intervention, guiding, mechanical restraint, and other restrictive practices in schools across England. This evidence will support ICARS’ submission to the United Nations on disability discrimination, safeguarding failures, and the use of restraint, seclusion, and isolation in education. The form is voluntary, non-identifying, and designed to protect children’s identities. Face, eye, or head injuries may still be submitted where needed. ICARS will crop, blur, or obscure identifying features before use unless explicit consent is given otherwise. Most questions are multiple choice or checkboxes. The form should take around 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Submissions close 31 May 2026. Your evidence matters. Their future. Our collective responsibility. Submit evidence through the QR code on the image or through the link in the comments. #AgainstRestraint #SEND #DisabilityRights #UNCRC #UNCRPD
