Not sure how where the author lives but a benefit of a diagnosis isn’t care if you live in the SW London ICB area and I suspect that is similar in other areas #WeAreRichmond

In just under 5 weeks I will be participating in the Guinness World Record Attempt for the longest full contact rugby game. I’m fundraising to support Wooden Spoon and LooseHeadz. If you could spare a few quid, please donate using the below link justgiving.com/page/beena-cha…

The very fabulous Stanley Root, the retired audit partner from PWC who kicked Yorkshire Water 💧's ass. Here's his work on Thames Water 💧. All that nonsense about shareholders investing money into the company, it's rubbish, there is not a single year since privatisation that TW's

The biggest issue for me is that EHCPs aren’t the holy grail that people think they are. LAs fail to deliver and that is if they can write an effective EHCP in the first place. #WeAreRichmond

Unconscious bias, always looking to validate the problem and not open minded enough to help. Everything is outsourced and they take no responsibility either #WeAreRichmond

Maladministration. Breaching Data Protection. Seems they can get away with making it up and never have to change the false narrative #WeAreRichmond

No “rigour” in our EHCP. Even the fact that the EHCP is a legal document means nothing to our LA. They do as they please it seems #WeAreRichmond

I’d also like to see LAs not using this as a primary strategy to failed adoptions, when the LAs themselves lack an adoption strategy to support families in the first place plus lack an understanding of the problem. Regional Adoption Agencies don’t work #WeAreRichmond

Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum, where an LA focus on care home spending due to a lack of understanding adoption, breakdown through lack pratical help, and the needs of previously looked after children #WeAreRichmond
