Mum, wife, epileptic. Need music and books like you need air. Fighting for education to be improved for SEND kids. 🌻
Also accessible does not take into account invisible disabilities.

9. Little will be achieved by ‘activating’ disabled people, even with the best quality employment support, if the jobs available to them are inaccessible due to the number of hours, the intensity of pace and inflexibility of location.

Can flexible job design help people with fluctuating disabilities?
In this blog piece, Catherine Hale outlines the early findings of a new study exploring the flexible working practices in the post-COVID era and their impact on disability employment outcomes.

Always join in. It's the fun bit of being a parent. Plus you get to steal the popcorn.

And it already happens. What also happens is job offers they can't get to, or courses they're not interested in etc They need to make it work for the people who need help before threatening to put people into poverty.

I'd love that.

You're a better person than I. Id be drinking that hot tea while watching them struggle.

So frustrating. His classmate has dyslexia and my son was shocked that they have totally different resource trays. He's only heard from school dyslexia = can't read, write or spell.

Yep. Last year it was a focus on writing, now spelling. Ignoring support he needs in areas like audio processing, following instructions, organisation - the list seems to grow the older he gets.

They should've done it properly. We're really lucky here, with the local farm shops so you can see the work into produce you're getting. But a fairer system is needed, top to bottom. We need farms so a little time to get it right is better than protests.

Flip side is lots of local farmers near us which are family owned and run. Have been for generations. Not sure preventing them from being passed down while rich twits like Duke of Westminster escape taxes is a winner.

Hobbes is brilliant. Genuinely think you should do a travel show. We'll all watch for Hobbes mostly! So glad to find you on here too.
