After a long delay we're nearly ready to launch our report about parent responses to the #SENDReview & reasons for non/participation in the public consultation. Keep your eyes peeled! 👀
A must read for those who want to read the #SENDReview report but don't have 100 pages in them. Think the parents in our project would have a lot to say about which reforms are going ahead (albeit over a number of years) schoolsweek.co.uk/send-review-im…
Due to long term team absence, we're quite a way behind on our project report, but it is coming! And I suspect we'll probably manage to get it out before the gov response. #SENDReview #SEND #disability #inclusion #edutwitter
After a long period of sick leave followed by #ucuRISING strikes I've almost forgotten my book was published in October! Unlikely to do a book launch for foreseeable due to all the above so please share 'Dis/orientating #Autism #Childhood & #Disability' link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…
There's so much in this post that echoes what parents told us in our #SENDReview project. Without a change in the culture of blame, how will the #SEND system ever be doing its job of supporting young people and families?
CQC is recruiting paid Experts by Experience who use health/social care esp those with learning dis. &/or #autism. Experts speak to staff & families to support inspections. Email: [email protected] choicesupport.org.uk/find-support/r… Easy read: cqc.org.uk/sites/default/…
Parents on #SENDReview & its language, "there is a lot of professional privilege given to teachers, social workers, paediatricians, anybody that wears a badge, but a parent has 'feelings'. Just feelings. It’s a subtle use of language to minimise the truth of what's going on"

One year on and this tweet from @MsJoBillington still perfectly sums up what being a parent carer is like. Knowing your child's rights is often only the first step — and then comes the fight for support. We're here so that you don't have to fight alone: contact.org.uk/listening-ear
There are still no safe and legal routes to the UK for people fleeing the conflict in Sudan. A shameful dereliction of duty by a cruel and callous government. Let's hold out the hand of friendship to refugees, wherever they come from.
Speaking at @SpcialNdsJungle webinar today, Children's Minister @ClaireCoutinho told parents that mediation will NOT be mandatory under the SEND Change Programme (as this would require legal change) - the aim is to improve the quality of mediation on offer.

@SpcialNdsJungle Parents in our SEND Review project talked about this and it's increase (and consequences) much more than I'd seen before. Was very interesting in the context of their experiences relating to LA and social services

The racist abuse my friend and colleague @ApsanaBegumMP is receiving for speaking out against the inhumane, illegal migration bill is absolutely appalling. This is what the vile rhetoric of this government encourages The Tories should be ashamed of themselves. Solidarity Apsana
We must not forget the pregnant women who finally escape persecution, war and torture, only to die seeking refuge. #IllegalMigrationBill
Could not agree more. Special schools always the afterthought in government policy and discourse; in the education research community we can and should resist this at every opportunity.
Hugely disappointing @NEUnion @IOE_London to discover that the experiences of those of us in Special schools are not included in this inquiry. There are some very real issues that would have been of value to explore. Can’t understand why you would exclude us.

Black women are nearly 4x more likely to die during pregnancy or childbirth & 43% more likely to miscarry. This is a national scandal, yet the Government has repeatedly failed to act. Instead of more empty promises we need binding targets & properly resourced solutions #BMHAW23
