If you don’t make time for you wellness,

You’ll be forced to make time for your illness.

Work is important.
Living life is importanter 😉🥰

@Tesco it appears you have no complaints process online? Ir if you have, it’s certainly not easily found. Please advise how I can let you know about my experience.

@honestteacher72 @IPSEAcharity @sencochat They can, but refusing to do anything unless diagnosis made. I know it’s unlawful!

Query from a friend…
‘My child’s school (sec: y7) have told us he can’t have support or be on SEN register unless he has a diagnosis (dyslexia/ADHD). His reading age is 4yrs below CA and he can’t access curric. We can’t afford to pay…what do we do?’ @IPSEAcharity @sencochat

[Liz - Primary SENCo @PrimarySENCo86]

@GingerLibNotts Take-a-peek, though I wish I wasn’t!

[Liz - Primary SENCo @PrimarySENCo86]

@LauraJBaker55 @MrBoothY6 Completely agree!!

[Liz - Primary SENCo @PrimarySENCo86]

@Zoetwinmummy @MrBoothY6 Agreed!

[Liz - Primary SENCo @PrimarySENCo86]

@rsgalloway1 @MrBoothY6 In my 10 years as SENCo, I can count on one hand the children who have actually had any support from CAMHS or equivalent - and on one finger the times when that has met need 😓😓

#dyslexia
If 1 in 5 pupils are #ND and have a #SPLD and all are recommended 1:1 dyslexia tutors, how on earth can #mainstream schools even attempt to do the best for them? Parents expect this 1:1 to be provided - how?! #wearedyslexiafriendly #reasonableadjustments #SEND #help

[Liz - Primary SENCo @PrimarySENCo86]

@MrTs_NQTs Unhappy about what though? Sometimes this could be overcome very easily/quickly by giving the parent time there and then. There are lots of things to balance - is your role in welcoming pupils critical/sg? Is there a back story to why parent is ‘unhappy?’ #kindness #compassion

Yesterday I spent the morning visiting primary schools for my own professional development.

Today I am reflecting on what I saw.

Here are my takeaways… 🧵

@AspieDeLaZouch Thank you!

[Liz - Primary SENCo @PrimarySENCo86]

If a parent requests placement change / school consulted - LA *must* legally do this? Correct? What happens if independent school? #sen #send #senlaw #codeofpractice #ehcp

[Liz - Primary SENCo @PrimarySENCo86]

@AspieDeLaZouch Even if independent and not section 41?
