Someone said to me today, if a child was upset whilst at school about going home to their parents at the end of the school day..there would be (understandably) a lot of concern from school.

YET when their child is anxious about going TO school..no one is listening.

@chrissydran @Ticketmaster @seetickets Thanks he is in the actual queue but about 65,000 still ahead of him. This is my phone, in in the queue on the app but it's kicked me out many times

3 hours in and I think my husband is as broken as the @Ticketmaster app and @seetickets site!

Would love you to consider my latest book published by Bloomsbury for parents and teachers of children with SEND

Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love.

Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.

A person who does not speak words CAN communicate in lots of other ways. We just need to slow down & give time to really listen with our eyes, ears, hearts, and minds
Treat people with respect & dignity

Twitter please can you help by sharing and tagging anyone who might help?

Liz is 16 and lives to take photographs. She has a rare and aggressive cancer which doctors have told her means she has between 6 months and 3 years to live. We hope every day for a lifetime for her but if we can’t achieve that we hope to create her a lifetime of memories. If we can make even one of her photography bucket list happen for her she will be beyond delighted.

Liz would love to:

@GraceyBirdie You should still get a renewal form. It is supposed to come before 5th birthday but lots of people have had them a few months later. You can call the DWP helpline and request one if your concerned.

The terrorists Hamas must return the hostages immediately and stop their indiscriminate rocket fire. 

We need to stop further Israeli and Palestinian suffering and the loss of civilian lives - including children - now. 

Today I’ve called for a ceasefire.

[Square Peg @teamsquarepeg]

Many parents of SEND kids feel the attitudes by the adults in mainstream schools are intolerant of, and inflexible towards, any child who’s different.

If the adults don’t model it, how can we expect our students to follow suit?
