Had a consultation with a school today. Children were given a map of the school and asked to colour green where they feel safe and red where they don't. SMT are using their responses to make changes and adaptations. Collaboration at its best!

When you send this to your child’s SENCO as she agreed for you to, because she said it sums up her educational life and you hear nothing back. How validating. How supportive. How understanding. All it would take is a quick ‘thank you’. Pfft.

Parental burnout is even more prevalent in parents who are caring for children with additional support needs. The daily demands are greater and support networks can be limited. Time for self care is paramount but hard to find. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
