Just a reminder that EHCPs are education, health and care plans that outline the support that disabled children and young people are legally entitled to. The Department for Education is setting targets for local authorities to reduce these. #SEND #Disability

The horrible truth is local authorities don't need to "win" #sen tribunal appeals, so they don't bother. The fact of the appeal is the "win". The delay. The money saved. Thats the "win" Parents giving up, accepting less. Thats the "win". LA's "win" all the time. #send #ehcp

We are looking for Spanish-English & French-English bilinguals, & English speakers (monolinguals) to take part in an online study exploring personality, attention, etc. Aprox 25 minutes. The study has been ethically approved (see link). Thank you! sheffieldpsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6n…

It’s simply not the case that, as suggested here, children & young people w/ EHC plans are getting “too much” provision. Quite the reverse – too many children & young people aren’t getting the support they need and are entitled to, because the law isn’t being followed.

For how many minutes? How many times a day? Trained by whom? Facilitated by what department? Otherwise you might as well use it as bog roll. #quantify #specify

Really disappointing take from Joe Wicks. The fight for support is difficult enough without having to also battle incorrect outdated opinions from people with such large platforms.

If school uniform is about social levelling and not about preparing children for work, why the shirts and ties? And if it’s about social levelling, why withhold education from children with minor uniform infractions by sending them to isolation?

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

Absolutely and utterly not surprised
