Apart from be a Principal of a multi site special school I used to go into main stream schools to advise on curriculum, adaptations and removing barriers to learning. The words ‘we can’t’ were quite often used by leadership. Demonstrating that they ‘can’ and ‘must’ was my job.

We certainly have! We’re in Derbyshire and they’re one of the worst LA’s. Whatever we’ve achieved, we’ve done ourselves and overcome too much adversity. We need accountability to the laws to support our most vulnerable, as opposed to gaslighting and ghosting! 💔

What a journey you have been on. So many parents/carers do not get the support they and their children need. I’m regularly talking to parents to support then in finding their way through the SEND system.

I’d suggest that this is a frighteningly regular situation tbh… with private providers being largely free to do what the fuck they like…

DWP penalises universal credit claimant despite getting new job
The DWP say sanctions incentivise people into work. Experts say they do the opposite – pushing vulnerable people deeper into crisis.

What really makes me lol is the bit where he says ‘they’re coping’. Hmm maybe SEND kids deserve to thrive rather than just cope. Also he’s talking a load of 💩 either way. But that’s Reform for you … attack the most vulnerable so no one looks at what they’re doing.

The leader of our council. ‘Schools getting extra money’- how is he in this position?
WTA?🤬🤯😳👇
"I personally think there are too many people in the [SEND] system," Graves said.
"I think there are reasons for that and it's to do with schools getting extra money for dealing with that.
"Most people are just about on the spectrum but they're coping."

Many parents of children with ASN and disabilities fear the very services that are meant to provide healthcare, safety and support. This is Dickensian. It’s 2025 and so much abuse or worse continues to occur without much moral outrage? We are “ devalued” “ othered” and blamed. Tragic all round.
WTAF!!! They employed someone with a false identity and E trained them for a day - Are our children not safe anywhere apart from with us? 🤬😳🤦♀️🤯
