I'm not sure what "SEND training" is given the term is an umbrella term.
However, if it is going to be any good at all, there needs a serious unpicking of the evidence base urgently - it's rife with ideology, preferences and vested interests (who will be very excited by £200m).

I empty the massive 6 bin, then put a approximately a single Pepsi can in and we are back to pushing it down and compacting rubbish to squeeze a bit more in for three days.

The social media ban on <16s (or <18s) is inevitable. It's just a question now of which politician wants to and is able to claim the credit for it.

My wife just told me the reason I didn’t get any books for Christmas is because she didn’t read @samfr.bsky.social’s blog on best books.

1. There's going to be a lot of talk about over or under diagnosis and the conversation is going to be a mess.
This is because how ADHD and ASD are defined has shifted. An ADHD diagnosis today isn't the same thing as an ADHD diagnosis ten years ago.

The Gods are trolling me: my football team win five games to get to the FA Cup third round for the first time in our 148 year history, and I negotiate being able to go, including for the weekend if necessary…
… and we get Grimsby Town away.

I have a Franke hot water tap that I’ve changed the filter in, and I can’t stop the display being orange no matter how many times I reset it.
Google is no help but last time someone on eBay helped me. Anyone have any idea?

When my daughter entered secondary school, she had no interest in any sport.
But the school expected every single child to play for a school team, every year, interested or not.
The theory is that they may discover something that they love.

If I was convinced by what Shabana Mahmood is saying about immigration, I'd vote Reform. If I was dubious but then persuaded my on balance, I'd vote Reform.
I don't understand what they think they are doing.

This is crazy.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood made more explicit her argument that when ethnic minorities face racism, "we have no choice but to ask: what is the cause of our division"
Her answer is the level of net migration, 2019-23 causes racism. (She on Monday said it was caused by the scale of asylum)

I think they should negotiate this series being ten tests long. Looks like it won't need any extra scheduled days.

This sums up Labour so far to me.
It’s amazing how they keep managing to not take the unpopular steps to actually fix things, but acquire the unpopularity as if they had. It’s sheer incompetence at every level: strategy - wrong, presentation - wrong, end goals - nobody knows. Absolute tragedy.
