First day of the national SEND leadership programme. Class of 24 are fab! @staff_college @kathrynBoulton1 @NDTicentral #SENDleaders

@NDTicentral is gathering views from physically disabled people in Hertfordshire by running a series of focus groups. Find out more here: buff.ly/3W0tzUl You can also fill out an online survey here: buff.ly/4bEjW3a @NdtiResearch @hertscc

This week is National Learning Disability week with the message “Do you see me?” We are working hard @NDTicentral to increase employment opportunities for young people with a learning disability through @Internship_Work 👀 to see what else we do ndti.org.uk

@SueGaudion @AgibbGibb I thought you commentated with your usual insight and passion. Swifts game was always going to be a tough one this week after what they have been through. No winners there sadly

@AgibbGibb Oh good god Allison! Get a grip. The term 'opposition' refers to the Away Team. Commentators use this ALWAYS! Please!!

Sue calling the Swifts the opposition is the reason why she should not be allowed to be a commentator when Fever are playing #FEVvSWi

@fergusonkf @tes The fact that it’s a segregated school with horrific behaviour suggests nothing about it is inclusive Kate. Hope all is well your end

This is uncomfortable viewing for many reasons but not least of all because there must be other schools where this is happening. #panorama #SEND LIFE Wirral’s website claims it was shortlisted for Inclusive School of the Year 2023 and it was. How does that happen @tes ?

And yet another scandal at a school that should be supporting and promoting positivity for young people with additional needs. Makes me sick to the stomach that people feel it’s ok to behave in such a vile way. @BBCPanorama courage from the reporter who called it out. STOP ABUSE!

Learning Disability Week shines a light on the voices often unheard. This year's theme, 'Do You See Me?', urges us to recognize and value the contributions of individuals with learning disabilities. Let's commit to seeing, hearing, and supporting everyone. #LearningDisabilityWeek

So great to be at the #timetotalk celebrations this week. Young people sharing what makes a difference to them @NDTicentral @NdtiResearch ❤️

Great to hear young people from Lincolnshire Young Voices talk about what matters to them as young people with additional needs #sendleadership @NDTicentral @Lincs_YV

Linda Jordan, amazing as always talking about the history of SEND and the role it plays in our society today ⁦@NDTicentral⁩ #sendleaders

It's #CerebralPalsy awareness month and we want to share a series of films from @EmmaSto65721313 . Emma reached out to our #TimeToTalkNextSteps programme to help build independence and confidence. Here's the first of her fantastic awareness raising films.

Preparing for Adulthood event, with the partnership in Wigan, aptly falling on supported internship day. Great range of practitioners and commitment for our children and young people @HelenMHayes1 @KathrynAnthon

@Internship_Work Delighted to be part of the national day and our work @NDTicentral that supports young people to get into work

These issues mean that children are being put at risk, enduring neglect, losing touch with loved ones and are far less happy than they deserve to be. I want to see government prioritising children’s social care with the commitment, funding and attention it deserves. 3/3

Make Your Mark is the biggest consultation, led by @UKYP, for young people to have their voice heard. 11 to 18 year olds have until 8 March to shortlist the most important topics for the country, including crime and safety🗳️ ✏️ Find out more: buff.ly/37lE2BJ

Can someone from ⁦@EnglandNetball⁩ explain why we only have 8 games (apart from the opening round and finals) live streamed this season? I’m sure there were so many more last year 😢

Do you work in #LearningDisability and #Autism services ? We're looking for leaders and aspiring leaders... The Next Generation Leadership Programme is taking applications from values-based people who are keen to tackle the challenges ahead differently. ndti.org.uk/projects/next-…

Please check out @BIHRhumanrights this week and see the, frankly, bloody brilliant, work my colleagues have been doing with community groups to co-produce the resources they need to harness the power of our Human Rights Act in their lives. Today that fab @mylifemychoice1 👇

A brilliant session for young people taking place next week! 👇
