This year’s @WorldDSDay theme is stereotypes - each person with Down syndrome is different. Stereotypes can stop people from living the lives they want to live. Help us #EndTheStereotypes #WorldDownSyndromeDay downs-syndrome.org.uk/our-work/campa…
Powerful words from the young people speaking at today's #SECManifesto launch. A strong case for the need to foster a culture of inclusion and get the right support into schools for all children - we couldn't agree more. #SEND #InclusiveEducation

We must ensure that the present generation should not hold the scars of the past. Nothing about us, without us #SECManifesto
Action speaks louder than words, time for the Government to take action 👏 #SECManifesto
Services are not luxuries, they are necessities and gateways towards independence. It is an investment in dignity #SECManifesto
Trivial questions to many are constant reminders to disabled young people that this society is not made for them #SECManifesto
Carys, a young person from FLARE, now shares her views on the #SECManifesto
Jacob, a FLARE member, now uses his experiences of education as a push for advocacy to ensure other young people have a better journey and aspirations for adulthood #SECManifesto
So inspiring Jacob from my local area #Stockport speaking at #SECManifesto 💙raising awareness of the challenges for Children & Young People 💙

@SEC_Tweets from a young person: 'The one size fits all education system needs to end.' #SECManifesto @AEPsychologists
The experiences of disabled young people is often invisible to others within their school #SECManifesto
There is a domino effect from the lack of support, from the young person, to their families and to their long-term aims and aspirations #SECManifesto
Autistic young people are twice more likely to be excluded than their peers #SECManifesto

Really pleased on behalf of @NDCS_UK to work with @SEC_Tweets colleagues to persuade @educationgovuk to withdraw these two proposals. High quality early education support is really important for deaf children's development, so it's great to see government listen!
The department will not proceed with the following two proposals: 1) Reducing the percentage of L2 qualified staff required per ratio from ‘at least half’ to 30% or 40% of all other staff 2) Changing qualification requirements outside of peak hours
Grateful to be able to contribute to these discussions about EYFS framework. Let’s hope views convert to meaningful outcomes for our youngest SEND children.
Thank you to fellow SEC members for their support on the response and discussions with the DfE. @NDCS_UK @teamsquarepeg @Dingley @AEPsychologists
"It's time to reconsider the education system" Daniel Stavrou of the @ncbtweets tells us during our Q&A
Daniel Stavrou of the Special Education Consortium @ncbtweets describes the nature of inclusion as it can be seen as a guiding principal of policies.
My kids have, after a decade struggling to access the curriculum and attend sch, just completed a half term without high levels of pervasive, chronic, overwhelming and disabling anxiety 24/7. What’s changed? 1/
We whole heartedly agree, relationships are at the heart of overcoming attendance barriers. But as @CommonsEd have rightly identified, support for MH & SEND must be prioritised. We are grateful to 40 orgs via @SEC_Tweets & 200 orgs via @CYPMentalHealth for joining calls #3Asks.
We have published our report on persistent absence and support for disadvantaged pupils. Find out more: committees.parliament.uk/committee/203/… CEO of @ActionTutoring, Susannah Hardyman, told our inquiry about her approach to this issue 👇
Our new research shows that councils lost 96% of tribunals that progressed to a hearing. The current system isn’t working and families have to deal with the consequences. You can read the full report here: ow.ly/m54n50PPb6C
Campaign Manager for @DCPcampaign @CyclingTheSeaso explains why it is important that the findings from our new report on the cost of SEND tribunals are addressed. You can read the full report here: ow.ly/m54n50PPb6C
