@Lads_Like_Us Only your super fan here ha! Thanks so much for coming in and sharing your superpower. Todays been one of them crazy days coz after you guys came in, I had the honour of meeting another truly inspirational man. I don’t believe in coincidence… I shared your details with him 💙🙏🏻
The @ChildrensComm is right - the SEND system isn't working for children as it should. But radical reform isn't the answer. The law on support for children w/ SEND couldn't be clearer, but it isn't being followed. The system needs to be made to work, not reformed all over again.
One of our children recently utilised their Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL) to attend their driving theory test.
This is something of a first for us at Wetherby, and will pave the way for other children in custody.
'In his dad’s absence, @Kalvinphillips has been supported by a large yet close-knit group.'
However, many children do not receive any support at all.
There needs to be a national system of identification and support for children with a parent in prison.

So many things do still need to change but I'm glad I've seen and influenced mamy positive changes so far and I'll keep on going as there is no other way! Children, families and communities deserve better!
@Lads_Like_Us Needed this. Working with children who experience trauma is a blessing & a curse sometimes 😪 Everyone who knows me knows I love my job &feel very privileged &honoured when children feel comfortable to share their stories with me. It's very hard when every door keeps closing 😭
