Providing info & training for parents of children with SEN/D so they can better advocate for their child's educational rights. R/Ts are not an endorsement

Dear all - it's been a blast but I'm now leaving Twitter. All is good. I'm handing this account over to previous colleages at https://t.co/H68lcUKpep. They're also very knowledable in SEND matters, so please do consider staying, but if you need to unfollow, they will understand

@eleanorjwright @southwestehcp Was a time when parent could phone & say have considered, don’t want to, please issue & it wd be. Now when phone is answered & parent says same u get staff who say ‘will endeavour to phone u back in 5days ‘ ( & often don’t) or send a form to be filled

@eleanorjwright @southwestehcp GM asking for additional info beyond GDPR minimisation principles doesn’t help. GM not having process to offer RAs for parents who are not literate. My gripes.

Thread provides context , last tweet a fantastic resource - if you have any tangential input from speech & Lang therapy in your life /work - reframes negative stigmatising deficit ASD descriptors into clear explanations. Life changing. Thx to @ElaineMcgreevy @EmilioLees

@hayleytilbey @sos_sen @SendCrisis Assuming you didn’t have to appeal in 20 week process from request to issue

[sen-help @EHCP_Advisers]

@hayleytilbey @sos_sen @SendCrisis If the draft was issued as a result of an annual review Final is as soon as practicable & in any event less than 8weeks, if draft is for a 1st ever plan - Final must be by week 20

@southwestehcp @SENDMattersUK @gstone78 I like the content. Also find the colour too pale and hard to read, cd the QRs go on a row at end so there is more space for text, layout doesn’t work well on a phone screen

Kent SEND re-inspection your chance to let OFSTED & CQC know how KENT has changed since it failed inspection in 2019 https://t.co/XZ3wNRzqnc

[aloe hen @newsworthy_gem]

Sometimes the placement is not quite working & failing to conclude the AR cycle, amend & give right of appeal can lead to placement breaking down & rebuilding from that point is very very hard. Please respond to the AR consultation closes 12.8.22

[aloe hen @newsworthy_gem]

In my view this issue is at the root of the send problems ( aside from lack of suitable places) the issue is old it is not from CFA 2014, please respond consultation closes 12.08.2022 it’s only 5 Questions

[Emma Thompson (previously Grimbly) @e2ska]

Apparently a significant minority of cases when preparing a draft of amendments to the plan proposed seemingly does take LAs an unusual long time! What nonsense this is not a minority!!!! This is widespread and too often it's not just 1-2months it's years!!!!

@JodieSmitten This is an infringement on your human right to a private family life, if there is no evidence of safeguarding there is no grounds for invading your privacy - tell em to knob off ♥️

Please respond to the SEND Green Paper consultation, time is running out

[aloe hen @newsworthy_gem]

School holidays & v hot weather coming in, make tonight the night you send your response to Send Green Paper in, ipsea sossen and SNJ all offering ways to help with submission. Enshrined rights will become bartering for diluted guff if parents voices are silent.

[Special Needs Jungle @SpcialNdsJungle]

NEW POST: #SENDReview: IPSEA's Ali Fiddy sets out how planned SEND National Standards are an assault on the rights and entitlements of children and young people with SEND. If you haven't sent in your Green Paper response yet, now would be a good time. https://t.co/OqyUiDaODP

[aloe hen @newsworthy_gem]

This is excellent, listening will be as good as watching - it is so IMPORTANT to respond to the SEND green paper, children’s rights are at risk of being lost, we must protect them
