Nurture groups provide children and young people who are struggling to access education in the classroom a safe environment to develop skills that help them be able to learn. 📚🧠 If you’re looking to set up a nurture group for your setting, click here: nurtureuk.org/supporting-you…

This is what we’re up against: “The very people making indefensible SEND decisions [for EHCPs] are now advising central government that it’s the Tribunal itself that’s the problem. Not them. And, shockingly, central government is listening” specialneedsjungle.com/55-rise-2024-s…

NEW POST Many LAs are slashing Post-16 transport, meaning disabled young people can't get to college safely. A new report says 65% of specialist colleges had learners missing the start of their course through transport issues. Ruth Perry @Natspec explains specialneedsjungle.com/true-cost-cuts…

@clairedotcomms @educationgovuk @RachaelMaskell @teamsquarepeg @NotFineinSchool In terms of creditable research, the behaviourist approach has always been found wanting, rooted in a place of evidence-lite ideology. However, this important area is always explored, with international, peer-reviewed studies in the @SebdaOrg journal sebda.org/members-area/

"Go back to the @educationgovuk & rip up the behaviourist approach to education. It creates a world where neurodiverse children, those with anxiety, mental health and even the timid cannot survive." Absolutely agree @RachaelMaskell 👏 @teamsquarepeg @NotFineinSchool

In follow up chat with Vicky Waghorn, she confirms the children and young people with SEMH and Autism have shown significantly increased engagement in literature study. They have also, topically, enjoyed attending the lessons! Item 8 in the Newsletter. ashfordinclusion.org/_files/ugd/201…

@DonnaGaywood Well done, Donna!

Excluded from primary school aged five: Parents say the SEND system is ‘broken'. Our co-director, Tania Tirraoro is interviewed in this piece from ITV News - itv.com/news/2024-07-2…

@warwickmansell I’m cautious about generalisations but, with depth of experience in both inner London and rural counties, it’s clear that the desire to support children exists in both. But confidence from experience and repetition does not. One part of the exclusion imbalance jigsaw @SebdaOrg

@EdTangled @Dr_Pam_Jarvis @pauldixtweets @SwailesRuth @ExcludedLives Thank you, and we will continue to promote serious peer-reviewed research in the interests of all our children and young people with SEMH. Come and study at Post Grad with us, or join for full access to all of our resources sebda.org

@Dr_Pam_Jarvis @pauldixtweets @SwailesRuth Yes, I’ve just seen this through another account…as if shouting a long, loud thread will somehow bring truth to his fiction. Fortunately, there are genuine sources of guidance on this platform, and organisations like @SebdaOrg @ExcludedLives ,LA Specialist Teachers…

@grahamchatterl2 Some important and truthful words throughout this thread.

Ok so despite the many comments, threads, videos etc, I never offer any solutions to behaviour So here is my practical advice for what I would do if I had poor behaviour in my classroom A thread...

@EdTangled @AFWI_News @HarvardCenter Also, the ‘two-generation’ approach, parent and child, as explored by @Cathy_Creswell regarding anxiety.

The Brain Story Certification @AFWI_News @HarvardCenter @SebdaOrg William Beardslee MD Harvard University, Module 9, ‘Mental Health Prevention and Promotion for Children of Depressed Parents’ reminding that ‘targeting family adversity’ is particularly helpful.

While ‘play’ is understood as the act of learning in Early Childhood Education, its role with older children, especially those with SEMH, requires greater study and promotion. Hope you get some good submissions!

@MissP1878 One of the most privileged jobs in the world, cherish every moment- congratulations 👏

Soooooo... Now that my current school know... As of September, I'm going to be a HEADTEACHER!

An important event, bringing together a range of professionals to hear and discuss latest research on attachment and trauma. Visit the SEBDA website for regular research updates on this and all aspects of SEMH sebda.org

Our findings reveal that [England's national curriculum text] does not acknowledge children’s right to influence their education and provides minimal opportunities for them to actively shape their learning in practice, writes @YManyukhina. Read more: blogs.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/2024/06/05…

@EdTangled @nasen_org @brookes_edu PG Cert after one year or, following the two year Diploma, continue with a full masters degree. Excellent tutors, flexible learning!

Latest SEND data available via @nasen_org now. Also, great to see promotion of the @SebdaOrg PG Diploma in SEMH on their home page scroll. Highly recommended distance learning course in partnership with Oxford Brookes University @brookes_edu

@SpcialNdsJungle Ellie Costello @teamsquarepeg and Naomi Fisher @naomicfisher reminding us all that a serious, respectful discussion amongst all who treat children’s education and well-being as a priority is now essential.
