Today’s panel underlined the challenges SEND reform must address and the crucial role of EPs. Key takeaways: local action while we await broader systemic change, investment, and embedding specialist support & inclusion across the system.

Ahead of the SEND White Paper, our next panel with @bpsofficial.bsky.social asks: what role should educational psychologists play in a reformed system, and what’s needed to ensure fair access for all?

Great to be joined by @helenhayes.bsky.social and Anntoinette Bramble for this discussion.

🌟Did you know that the DECP is constantly involved in agitating for systemic shifts that improve experiences & outcomes for CYP?

👀Here is a brilliant example: the Right to Play campaign. As relevant today as when it was developed.
