My response to our Councillors "apology".

I'm pretty angry right now. Two weeks of silence and then a few mealy mouthed lines.

Is anyone really surprised?

[SEND Carers United @SENDCarers]

@SEND_Action @bbcmtd 100%, I was utterly shocked when I watched this, extremely damaging from people who really have no idea!

[SEND Carers United @SENDCarers]

Seriously shocking in 2024. This needs press coverage! Please share @PSCRuth @SpcialNdsJungle @SendCrisis @SEND_Action @WholeSchoolSEND @SendVW @Send_UK @ASD_Family_Help @ADHDFoundation @BFTF_Wokingham @womenwithadhd @autismberkshire @Autism @NotFineinSchool @OT_WINDSOR_UK

🧵 Families frequently tell us about delays in the EHC needs assessment process due to long waits for educational psychology advice.

The law says....1/5

[SEND Action @SEND_Action]

LAs now losing 92.5% of #SEND tribunals and the number of tribunals is shooting up.

I’ve seen lots of social media posts this week from parent carers who are struggling under the pressure of trying to hold it all together.
If you’re wondering why!
I shared this diagram at a meeting this week, which helps highlight the pressure on the family in the middle.

@PSCRuth Wouldn’t miss it for the world! 🙂

Looking forward to seeing parents and families of children with SEND this Saturday! The below link has a layout of St Crispins and a photo sheet for parents that might need an infographic for their children & young people.

SENDIASS are designing a new website. Today we started the brainstorming of what families need from the site. Co-production at its best. #coproduction

[SEND Carers United @SENDCarers]

Very interesting thread in Wokingham! @SendVW #send

[SendVoicesWokingham @SendVW]

An interesting post has come up about SEND provision and housing. What are your views? https://t.co/TK97SVBc18

[Yvonne Newbold MBE @YvonneNewbold]

When #SEND children lash out & hurt others, it's because they are in deep distress themselves. It's not their fault & they aren't being naughty. They need a completely different parenting approach to help them back on track. This explains how to do it https://t.co/rKwwKDEoKj

[SEND Carers United @SENDCarers]

@claudette_dent Thanks for this, and there’s my head! 😂 Such a great event, United we stand!
