The Black SEND Index

Ensuring that the SEND sector truly encompasses the idea of inclusion, where every voice is seen as important and every experience a story to be heard.

“This book has so many strengths… It is empathetic, compassionate and respectful in the way it addresses issues...” - @eunice_lumsden

Unsurprising then that the grandparents/parents of neurodiverse children hesitate to seek institutional/medicalised labels and ambiguously defined support. Culturally competent and historically aware professionals needed on the ground @BlackSENDIndex

I love this series of videos from @SirenFilmsLtd and @WFarahslt. It's so refreshing to see progressive conversations getting the platform they deserve.

It's good to see The MOVE Programme thinking about representation at their conference. Unfortunately, this is rare at #SEND events.

I was meant to go to a 2 day SEND conference but when I checked the line up, it wasn’t diverse enough.
I’m fed up of with large events that just have one speaker of colour or add you on as an afterthought. It’s so demoralising. No sessions that will help me support my community.

[Stephen Kilgour @Stephen_Kilgour]

One of the best parts of my role is connecting with progressive, knowledgeable professionals.

I've been lucky enough to work on these 9 FREE guides (perfect summer holiday reading!) - plenty more on their way too!
