Thank you @loulordsmith - we have indeed been ensuring that all stakeholders are being consulted!

[Lou Smith @loulordsmith]

@tes Hope stakeholders have been involved, such as pupils with medical conditions & their representatives, & experts in providing support for them from alternative provisions such as LA hospital / out of school education too. @CathCathkitchen ıs the most experienced person in this

[Cath OBE, FCCT @CathCathkitchen]

Hear, hear! Sooo disappointing 😢

[Warren Carratt - Chief Executive Officer Nexus MAT @warrencarratt]

Not a single commitment in this 10 year strategy to support and invest in the over crowded, crumbling special & AP school estate. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I’m not surprised anymore, but I wish I could move beyond the chronic disappointment this still yields

21 behaviour and attendance hub schools named - are any of them AP or special? Why are we still being missed out of the narrative?? https://t.co/uCxQGQNeR2

[Cath OBE, FCCT @CathCathkitchen]

Full circle moment this week - helping my daughter set up her classroom & back her display boards - almost 30 years ago, she was my helper!

[Cath OBE, FCCT @CathCathkitchen]

That’s really kind - it is great to have a network of colleagues that we can recommend to give sound advice from liver experiences 👇

[Sarah Johnson (was Dove) @PhoenixEdSarah]

@llewelyn20 One thing that feels really important is to elevate others and share in their joy when they do work wherever. I’m forever recommending @SwailesRuth , Sue Cowley (cant find her), @CathCathkitchen amongst others to say “actually they do better than me on this”.

[Cath OBE, FCCT @CathCathkitchen]
