I'm proud to launch my dedicated #SEND Hotline. If you're a parent or guardian in Northampton South needing support with SEND issues, my team is here to help. My team and I are here to support you with advice, advocacy & action.

Central Bedfordshire Council has been told to apologise and pay £300 after a bullied child went without education support for six months. A watchdog found it failed to follow proper procedure... #Bedford #BedfordNews #CentralBeds #Ombudsman #SEND #EducationSupport #AcrossBedfordshire

NEW POST: @tanialt.bsky.social writes that the DfE's word salad response to a critical PAC committee report shows a distinct lack of urgency in fixing #SEND —despite more rumours of an imminent plan www.specialneedsjungle.com/d...

Sharing an article that my son @zakm180.bsky.social and featured in. We need to keep speaking out. We won’t get change keeping quiet! uosjournalism.shorthandstories.com/the-unheard-...

Always worth reading reports from England. The cost of inaction in Scotland will have similarities.

Adult #SocialCare report. The cost of inaction! 👇 committees.parliament.uk/publications...

Dedicated Schools Grant has four Blocks. High Needs Block protects #SEND. A council simply could not reallocate money spent on conditions councillors thought were being overdiagnosed or did not exist. #LocalElections #LocalElections2025 #Reform #ReformUK davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/05/high...

Add #SEND into the equation and the connection becomes even stronger! 👇

The system is failing, when celebrities have to step in to pay for a child’s private diagnosis, after waiting 3 years! 🤬💔👇 Rod Stewart helps with autism diagnosis amid long waits | The Herald www.heraldscotland.com/news/2513160...

This publication on #AssistedDying was timed nicely for us not to notice! Well they failed, because we have seen it and we’re going to inform everyone. Get sharing it! 🤬🤬💔💔 publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbi...

WTH? 😳🤬💔 letting you know that your son has been defiant today and placed in isolation because he didn’t want to put his shoes on after soft play. He soiled himself & smeared it everywhere. We wheeled him in a trolley to the showers & scrubbed him down. JUST STOP!!!! metro.co.uk/2025/04/26/c...

A county council has reimbursed a total of £26,475 to parents who used private educational psychologists due to a backlog. Surrey County Council paid out to 27 families of children with SEN who had to go private between the 2023 summer term and May 2024. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Educational psychologists only have capacity for statutory assessments, Education Committee hears Reduced funding stops educational psychologists from undertaking early intervention support. www.twinkl.co.uk/news/educati...

An everywhere issue. Discrimination on a mass scale. The level of cognitive dissonance that allows this to continue and local authorities across the UK are fully aware of these issues. So are politicians and all Governments in UK. This is a scandal.

In her ignorance around #SEND, she makes it sound so easy! www.spectator.co.uk/article/brid...

How is this ever acceptable - What happened to #Support or maybe a Social Story? #SupportDontPunish metro.co.uk/2025/04/26/c...

Brilliant Woman’s Hour today. Painful listening to the victims of grooming gangs who are still waiting for the perpetrators to be punished. Learnt so much about Mākereti Papakura, a Māori scholar. Finally, great interview with @francesryan.bsky.social about her new book, ‘Who wants Normal?’

Report on ‘Acceptance of Cash’ by the Treasury Committee. A very good section on people with learning disabilities being excluded from venues which only accept card payments. committees.parliament.uk/publications...

Another day of waiting for answers from the local authority about my son’s education. Another day of waiting for social services to get in touch. Maybe it’s time to get an advocate for my son as I’m not getting anywhere 🥺 #Disability

More LA’s acting unlawfully! They drive our families to a place where no one wants to be. 💔👇

A national scandal. Lack of knowledge, lack of training, designing unsuitable schools. None of the people who caused this will admit they made huge mistakes that are impacting families lives so negatively it’s hard to comprehend. It’s not okay to continue to cause such extensive harm.

“Inclusive society”? The reality facing disabled and neurodivergent individuals after school. The disabling barriers we face as a community are multifaceted and rarely challenged. Our employment the feel good story at the end of news bulletins to make everyone feel good about society.

An incredible day at #SENDlive, always a pleasure to be part of one of my favourite conferences. Thank you to Oxford Local Authority’s SEND team for the invitation. Ben Juggins’ keynote on lived experience was deeply moving! #SEND #Inclusion #CPD #LiteracyForAll #livedexperience

🚨 Update on Janet Harrison at the Education Select Committee for RCSLT. 😊 Great to see Janet's evidence on #SEND quoted in this Schools Week article and #SLPeeps @balancedsystem.bsky.social's Marie Gascoigne and Alison Stewart also feature. #Education #Health schoolsweek.co.uk/health-must-...
