Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up.

I’ll add more as I find them.

So, let's try doing #duvetknowitschristmas here this evening? People are literally Driving Home For Christmas right now, which MIGHT JUST mean that they'll be sleeping somewhere unusual. 1/

I'm looking for a #SENDfamily who has experienced a school who do this really well. I'd like a case study for an article.

Anyone in my contacts?

Please RT
The first way to fix this is a 'multi-disciplinary' approach within schools.

It seems that behaviour, attendance, SEND and T&L all operate in silos without talking to each other.

For some children, all the above are interlinked.

It's frustrating as a parent to see the dots not being joined.
Deeply concerning to see the close link between suspensions/exclusions + those with SEND. This means, in my mind anyway, that somewhere in the process, we are failing at meeting their needs. Sadly, this is a systemic failure needing serious overhaul. Trust me: no Head EVER wants to suspend/exclude.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
