Pupils behaviour changes when they feel seen & heard. We are quick to punish with harsh discipline focusing on the behaviour instead of the messsge.Why are they acting like this? What do they need right now?When we respond to the need,instead of the behaviour,change happens🧠🌱

Being a parent to a disabled child is a reality that many people will never truly understand. Too often, parents are painted as “the problem,” while in reality many of us are fighting battles that others couldn’t even imagine. Unlike most parents, we aren’t just raising

SEN kid in mainstream? Bullied, parents told they’re draining resources. Apply for special school + transport? Bullied + called a taxpayer burden. So what’s the demand? That a child has no education they have a legal right? If it were your child, what would YOU do? #sencrisis

Both my bills #SB373 and #AB653 have officially passed the California Senate floor and are on their way to @GavinNewsom’s desk to be signed into law! We are protecting students in out-of-state placements & closing dangerous loopholes in the entertainment industry. Thank you

Councils need to look inwardly at the wasted money fighting parents etc #SENDNationalScandal
For how long will we accept “councils can’t afford to help children” as a reason to fail them and their families? Why are councils always calling for support to limited rather than for funding to be increased? #SEND

Alison Bennett MP: I'm fed up with the demonisation of parents: blamed for gaming the system, for being too soft, for bothering overworked teachers... the crisis in send is not the fault of parents. One parents said they need to see what it is like for parents... #senddebate

He's got a good point.
If the people of this country are divided on immigration they will lose the fight on wealth inequality.

Every single public service/sector worker: watch this carefully.
Families of the Hillsborough disaster victims have just finished a meeting with the PM after the announcement of legislation aimed at preventing cover-ups of major scandals and disasters. In the future, public officials have a legal duty to tell the truth. Campaigners Margaret

Parents of disabled children often carry an invisible weight that few acknowledge. Beyond the exhaustion of daily care, many face blame from schools, services, or even their own communities when systems fail. They are spoken over, doubted, or treated as though their child’s

10/ 🚽 Toilets aren’t a privilege. They are a matter of health, dignity & rights. If U.S. children are guaranteed access in law & policy… why aren’t England’s?

On Monday, Parliament debated our petition to retain SEND legal rights - and in a standing-room-only debate attended by over 90 MPs, we heard overwhelming support for protecting children’s rights. Our Policy Manager, Catriona, shares more in this blog: https://t.co/LxONgiemMl

The Hillsborough Law is just about the best thing to happen to Britain in years. Hope everyone feels the same way when it reaches the House of Lords, a setting that will test whether the establishment really wants change.

The passing of legislation to help prevent scandals like the Hillsborough disaster is long overdue
