@LLeivars ,@Teacher_LMc77 the journey of children with SEND is hard but working in partnership shows that even complex needs can make it due to fantastic support at high school. Thank you! Ypu are an amazing school

The recent survey released by @Sibs_uk gives examples of how caring for siblings with a disability can have a big impact on young carers’ lives.

Young sibling carers need more support for a fair future.

Today my 18 yr old “baby”finally got their diagnosis of Autism & ADHD after many years of struggling & masking. Being judged & bullied really affected their mental health to near fatal consequences. So proud of their resilience.
