Thinking about all those children and parents and carers for whom this week is a nightmare, for those who struggle daily in school, for those have no school, for those who live hidden. We see you. #SEND #autism #ADHD #carers Thanks Missing The Mark Eliza Fricker for the drawing.

This month can be a tricky time for us all for different reasons. The change in routine for some transitioning from summer to settings and for others the lack of change when not accessing provision whilst everyone talks of ‘back to school’. We hear and support you all.

To mark the start of a new school year, Autism Central has released resources about navigating education and working with schools. Guidance includes understanding why school can be challenging, reasonable adjustments and attendance: autismcentral.org.uk/news/navigatin…

I sincerely hope that this child’s bravery in articulating their feelings and experience of school to their teachers is met with compassion, a willingness to learn and an openness to implementing any reasonable adjustments needed.

Fabulous! I’m so pleased we are continuing our partnership with Whole Education Great work Amy Baxter #WeAreGAT #EVERYChildEveryAcademyEveryDay

Our disabilities do not disable us; we are disabled by the barriers society puts in our way. It’s not our bodies or minds that hold us back—the attitudes, structures, and stereotypes do. It’s time to break down these barriers and redefine what disability means. Watch this video.

"Had a fire of this scale happened in an office block in Canary Wharf, would we have had to wait seven years to get to the point?" Ahead of the Grenfell report, housing campaigner KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner tells #R4Today there needs to be 'more accountability within social housing'.

Today is a day for all political parties to commit to a #GrenfellLaw - enshrining in UK law the basic right to a good, safe home. 💚 #ForeverInOurHearts #HousingFirst

The Grenfell tragedy is about power - those who have it and those who don’t. Those who are given the benefit of the doubt and those who are ignored. Those believed and those not.
